England ran out comfortable 3-0 winners against Australia at Pride Park, but the friendly was marred by a ‘horrible’ injury to Lionesses striker Michelle Agyemang.

Agyemang, who played a starring role in England’s triumph at the Euros in the summer, came on as a second-half substitute for Alessia Russo but went down off the ball clutching her knee just 11 minutes later.

After receiving lengthy treatment on the pitch, the Arsenal striker, who is spending her second season on loan at Brighton, appeared in agony as she left the pitch on a stretcher.

And England boss Sarina Wiegman gave a fearful update at full-time, telling ITV: ‘I haven;t been inside yet but that looked horrible.

‘When you are stretchered off, it’s not nice anyway, and it doesn’t look good.
