Agyemang confirms she ruptured ACL during Australia friendly

Arsenal and England striker Michelle Agyemang has confirmed she has a ruptured ACL and will miss the remainder of the season.

Agyemang was stretchered off during the Lionesses 3-0 victory over Australia just minutes after coming off the bench.

The 19-year-old received a standing ovation from supporters as she came off, but post-match Sarina Wiegman said the injury "didn't look good".

And the player has now confirmed she suffered a torn ACL, with the Gunners adding they will remain in close contact with her loan club, Brighton, as her treatment plan takes shape.

In a post on Instagram, Agyemang said: "[I'm] disappointed that results show a torn ACL. I am so grateful for all the kind words and the support from everyone.

"Recovery starts now, I will be back stronger than before. In all things I give thanks to the Most High God. This test will surely turn into a testimony."

It is a blow for the teenager after a breakthrough summer with the Lionesses at Euro 2025. She scored late goals against Sweden and Italy in the knockout rounds to force extra time, with England going on to win the competition.

Those contributions came just a few months after she scored 41 seconds into her senior international debt against Belgium.

Agyemang has been in her second loan spell at Brighton, having also represented the club in the 2024/25 season. She had played in five of the Seagulls' six WSL games so far, scoring once.
