England manager Sarina Wiegman is “not very positive” about the injury to forward Michelle Agyemang, who was carried off on a stretcher with what appeared to be a knee injury during England’s 3-0 win against Australia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Agyemang, 19, went down with an off-the-ball injury just 13 minutes after being brought on as a second-half substitute before being replaced by Chloe Kelly and left Pride Park on crutches.<\/p>\n

In her post-match news conference in Derby, Wiegman said she had not yet received any information on the injury but expressed concern. <\/p>\n

“Of course it was an awful moment, it doesn’t look good,” she said. “We don’t know yet but I’m not very positive about what I’ve seen.”<\/p>\n

Former Arsenal defender Jen Beattie said Wiegman’s comments to the media were not a good sign.<\/p>\n

“Sarina’s comments said a lot because the manager will always be the first person that gets a little nod from the medical team. I think her whole demeanour spoke volumes,” Beattie said on BBC Radio 5 Live.<\/p>\n

“I don’t want to speculate I just hope she’s OK.”<\/p>\n

Agyemang, who is currently on loan at Brighton from Arsenal, played a key role for the Lionesses in their Euro 2025 triumph.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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

She has featured in five of Brighton’s six Women’s Super League games this season, starting each of those matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"England manager Sarina Wiegman is “not very positive” about the injury to forward Michelle Agyemang, who was carried…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":{"0":"post-230990","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-headlines","8":"tag-headlines","9":"tag-news","10":"tag-top-news","11":"tag-top-stories","12":"tag-topnews","13":"tag-topstories"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
