"It was a real privilege to welcome Michelle back in the summer and work with her for another season,"
"Naturally, we're disappointed that her second loan spell with the club has come to an end, but her rehab and mental wellbeing must remain the priority."
"For someone so young, her talent on the pitch and her strength of character off it are truly remarkable. She has been a leader within our squad, and we're confident she'll be back on the pitch very soon."
Michelle Agyemang has returned to Arsenal to continue rehabilitation after rupturing her anterior cruciate ligament while on England duty in October. The 19-year-old was on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion for a second consecutive season and had started five of Brighton's six Women's Super League games this season before the injury. Brighton and Arsenal planned to work together on a rehabilitation programme assisted by England and the Football Association. Brighton head coach Dario Vidosic praised her talent, leadership and strength of character, expressed disappointment the loan ended, and emphasized that her rehab and mental wellbeing are the priority while expressing confidence she will return to the pitch.
