Sam Kerr's fiancee Kristie Mewis posts revealing update after hitting a post-pregnancy milestone
US football star Kristie Mewis had fans in stitches after posting about reaching a post-pregnancy fitness milestone just weeks after welcoming her son, Jagger, with Matildas captain Sam Kerr.
On Tuesday, the West Ham midfielder shared a photo to Instagram to let her fans know she was back on the football field.
'First football session back, might of been my last,' she wrote alongside a snap of her looking absolutely exhausted.
The Postpartum Return to Play Guide from soccer's FIFA governing body recommends players wait at least six weeks before doing any exercise, and at least twelve weeks before any serious high-performance competition.
Mewis gave birth on May 8, so the footballer is doing very well to be back kicking a ball again so soon.
Meanwhile, Kerr has had a recent injury setback on her return to football, though the exact nature of the situation is still unclear.
The Aussie skipper has undergone more surgery, though it's believed the new injury isn't related to her existing knee issues.
It comes as a huge blow for the Aussie superstar who has not played for club or country in 16 months after she ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) back in 2024 during a training camp with Chelsea.
She would later undergo surgery on the ACL tear and, at the beginning of the year, was seen back training on grass with Sonia Bompastor's side.
Following the official confirmation of his appointment earlier in the month, new Matildas coach Joe Montemurro stated he won't be making an official call on Kerr's future as Australia captain until she returns to play.
Bompastor had also refused to be drawn on when Kerr might return, with the Blues boss stating that her injury time frame was still unclear.
However, the former Lyon manager has explained that Kerr is now back training on grass, having undergone the surgical procedure while revealing that her knee injury was much better.
'Look, I think there were some complications and I've only caught up with the scenario in the last 24 hours,' he explained to Channel 10 News when pressed for an update on Kerr.
'There was a subsequent intervention, but I do believe she is now back running.
'I think it was something completely different (to the existing knee injury). I think the knee is fine.
'I think there was some other issues, but again I've only been briefed in the last 24 hours.'
The Matildas have a busy few weeks coming up.
They are playing friendlies against Slovenia on June 26 and 29, followed by friendlies against Panama on July 5 and 8, with the first of those clashes marking the first time Montemurro will be in charge of the national team.
