England striker Agyemang out for season after tearing ACL in Australia friendly

England won 3-0 at Derby’s Pride Park, but the friendly was overshadowed by Agyemang’s knee injury as she was carried off the field on a stretcher.

Agyemang had joined Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for the 2025-26 season.

“We can confirm that Michelle Agyemang suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament injury while playing in England’s 3-0 win over Australia in Derby on Tuesday,” Arsenal said in a statement.

“The 19-year-old forward… will miss the remainder of the 2025-26 season as a result of the injury. We are in close contact with Brighton as we determine a treatment and recovery programme for Michelle.”

England’s Football Association said she would also have their full support as she starts her rehabilitation.

“Disappointed that results show a torn ACL,” Agyemang wrote on Instagram.

“Recovery starts now, I will be back stronger than before.”
