Michelle Agyemang: England striker carried off on a stretcher in win against Australia
England forward Michelle Agyemang was taken away on a stretcher with an injury that manager Sarina Wiegman said “looked terrible”. England defeated Australia 3-0.
Agyemang, 19, was injured off the ball just 13 minutes after replacing Alessia Russo.
In his post-match interview, Wiegman said he had not yet received any information regarding the injury but expressed concerns.
“It’s not nice when it’s dragged out,” he told ITV. “This doesn’t look good. Of course it’s not confirmed, but it looks bad.”
Agyemang, who is currently on loan at Brighton from Arsenal, played a key role in the Lionesses’ Euro 2025 victory.
Goals from the bench against Sweden in the quarter-final and Italy in the semi-final forced extra time and gave England the platform for victory.
Her successes in Switzerland led to her being nominated for the Kopa award, an award given to the world’s best under-21 female footballer.
She has featured in five of the six Women’s Super League matches played in Brighton this season, finishing in the starting five in each of those matches.
