Teenage England striker Michelle Agyemang is set to make a remarkable comeback from her ACL injury, according to Arsenal manager Renee Slegers. The 19-year-old forward ruptured her ACL in Tuesday's friendly against Australia and will now miss the rest of the season.
Despite this setback, Slegers remains confident that Agyemang has the strength to return to her best form without a doubt. The young forward was a surprise inclusion in England manager Sarina Wiegman's squad for Euro 2025 in the summer and impressed with crucial goals in both the quarter-finals and semi-finals.
Agyemang's ACL injury is a significant blow, but Slegers knows what she's going through having suffered two such injuries herself. The Arsenal boss described the timing of Agyemang's injury as "tough" and added that it's not just her team that will miss her - the entire nation will be heartbroken.
Slegers plans to keep Agyemang engaged and learning off the pitch, with a focus on mental growth and development. The goal is to help her mentally so that when she returns from injury, it will feel like she hasn't missed a beat.
With a strong support system in place, Slegers is confident that Agyemang will bounce back from this setback and continue to reach her full potential.

BUT RENEÉ SELGERS SEEMS LIKE A TOTAL PRO, I RESPECT HOW SHE'S TAKING CARE OF MICHelle's MENTAL HEALTH RIGHT NOW. KEEPING HER ENGAGED AND LEARNING IS THE WAY TO GO, MIGHT HELP HER GET BACK TO FORM QUICKER THAN EXPECTED 
so this girl Michelle gets hurt again after already doing so well at Euro 2025... i mean, i get it injuries happen but come on! 
she was supposed to be the star of England's team now what? 
! ACL injuries are the WORST 
. But Renee Slegers sounds like a total angel, she's got her best interests at heart 
. Keeping Agyemang engaged off the pitch is a great idea, mental growth is key, you know? 
It's not just about coming back physically, it's about being mentally strong too 
. With a solid support system and focus on self-care, I'm sure she'll be back to her old self in no time 
! Let's all send our positive vibes her way 
she was on fire at euro 2025 and now she gets torn ligament?? 
what a bummer... 
but seriously, renée slegers knows her stuff, gotta respect that 
i mean, 2 acl injuries is no joke, thats some tough luck right there 
mental growth and development is key, lets hope michelle can bounce back stronger than ever 
she's been through similar injuries herself so I'm sure she'll whip Agyemang back into shape in no time 
it's gonna be like she never missed a game at all 
. Anyways, I'm glad Slegers is being supportive of Agyemang and helping her grow mentally 
... I just hope she can come back stronger than ever 
. Fingers crossed for Michelle's speedy recovery! 
... fingers crossed everything goes smoothly with the rehab process 
. Renee Slegers knows what she's going through, that's awesome... and Sarina Wiegman must've seen something special in her too? 
...Agyemang was on fire for England in Euro 2025, now let's see if she can do it again when she comes back 
. mentally strong is key here, hope she stays positive and focused 
. Hopefully, this time around, she'll be able to push through without another injury 
. Mental growth and development are super important for young athletes like her, let's keep an eye on how Slegers supports her off the pitch 
my friend just got one and said it was "interesting" lol anyway back to michelle agyemang, thats such bummer about her ACL injury 
hope she gets back to scoring goals soon tho
. The fact that Slegers has been in similar shoes before must give her some insight into what Agyemang is going through.
. Fingers crossed! 
I hope Michelle's comeback is smoother than a freshly brewed cup of coffee
