Michelle Agyemang (Brighton & Hove Albion/loan from Arsenal)
November 2025

The 19-year-old ruptured her ACL 18 minutes after coming on for England in a 3-0 win over Australia. Arsenal confirmed she will miss the entire 2025/26 season while Brighton and Arsenal coordinate her treatment and long-term rehabilitation plan. Agyemang’s strong start—one WSL goal in five—halted by non-contact knee damage. Club and country staff will stage recovery milestones: swelling control, range of motion, quad activation, then phased return-to-run and cutting. Timeline typically nine to twelve months; psychological support emphasized for elite adolescents.
