Arsenal head coach Renee Slegers offered words of support for Agyemang and knows what exactly what the forward is going through.

“It’s a very sad time,” Slegers, who suffered two ACL injuries during her playing career, said. “When these moments happen it’s horrible because you know that it will keep them away from the game for a long time. I’ve gone through it twice as well, so I know what it does, how much strength it takes both physically, but not the least mentally to come back.

“It’s a long investment for those players to come back again. If you look at Michelle specifically, I think she’s been doing so well. Her loan at Brighton has been really positive. She’s had all those minutes for England, contributing, winning the Euros.

“She was in a really good place. The timing of this isn’t great, although it’s never a good time. But Michelle is very strong, she’s young, she will have the strength to come back and we’ll do everything we can to support her.”
