England striker Michelle Agyemang has returned to Arsenal to recover from an ACL injury after her loan with Brighton & Hove Albion ended early. The 19-year-old ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in October while playing for England, ruling her out for the rest of the season.
Brighton had signed Agyemang on loan for a second season, and she featured in five of their six WSL games this year. Both clubs, along with England and the FA, will now work together on her rehabilitation.
Brighton coach Dario Vidosic praised Agyemang’s talent and leadership, saying her recovery and mental health are the top priority and expressing confidence she will return to the pitch soon.
