Matildas captain Sam Kerr says she is operating at approximately 85 percent fitness as Australia prepares to open its Asian Cup campaign against the Philippines on Sunday, having spent 18 months recovering from an ACL tear complicated by an undetected surgical graft problem. Kerr, the only remaining player from Australia's 2010 Asian Cup-winning squad, acknowledged self-doubt during her comeback but expressed confidence in her recovery and excitement about competing in a second home tournament.
