The 19-year-old striker, currently on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion from Arsenal, sustained the serious knee injury during the Lionesses’ 3–0 win over Australia. The incident occurred without contact, and Agyemang was stretchered off to a standing ovation from fans.
After the match, England head coach Sarina Wiegman admitted the injury “didn’t look good.” Sadly, Agyemang later confirmed via Instagram that scans had revealed a torn ACL.
"[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."
Agyemang’s injury comes after a breakout year for the young forward. She played a crucial role in England’s Euro 2025 campaign, scoring off the bench in both the quarter-final against Sweden and the semi-final against Italy. Her performances earned her a nomination for the prestigious Kopa Trophy, awarded to the world’s best Under-21 women’s footballer.
Before the injury, Agyemang had been in strong form for Brighton, starting in five of the club’s six WSL matches this season.
