England Women's manager Sarina Wiegman has expressed her concerns over the injury sustained by forward Michelle Agyemang during their friendly win against Australia. The forward was carried off on a stretcher in what is described as an "awful moment" for fans.
Wiegman, who took charge of England Women after the World Cup, seems less than optimistic about Agyemang's chances of recovery. Describing her reaction to the injury, Wiegman stated she is "not very positive". This admission suggests that Wiegman is keeping her fingers crossed but also realistic about the possibility of losing one of her key players for an extended period.
Agyemang's injury comes as a major blow to England Women's chances in their upcoming tournaments. With several high-profile matches on the horizon, Agyemang's absence will undoubtedly be felt by Wiegman and the rest of the squad.
The English women's team will need all hands on deck to make a deep run in the next tournament, especially with one of their top strikers out for an unknown amount of time. It remains to be seen how England Women will cope without Agyemang but it seems that Wiegman is preparing for the worst-case scenario.
For now, the focus is on getting Agyemang fit and back in action as soon as possible. Wiegman's comments on her team's injuries have raised concerns about their overall fitness levels heading into tournament time.
