Michelle Agyemang: England striker carried off on a stretcher in win against Australia


England forward Michelle Agyemang was carried off on a stretcher with an injury that manager Sarina Wiegman said “looked horrible” during England’s 3-0 win against Australia.

Agyemang, 19, went down with an off-the-ball injury just 13 minutes after being brought on to replace Alessia Russo.

In her post-match interview, Wiegman said she had not yet received any information on the injury but expressed concern.

“When you’re stretched off that’s not nice anyway,” she told ITV. “That 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 for the Lionesses in their Euro 2025 triumph.

Goals from the bench in the quarter-final against Sweden and in the semi-final against Italy forced extra time and gave England a platform for victory.

Her exploits in Switzerland led to her being nominated for the Kopa trophy, an award given to world’s best under-21 female footballer.

She has featured in five of Brighton’s six Women’s Super League games this season, starting each of those matches.
