What are the key selection issues?published at 07:55 British Summer Time<\/p>\n

The key selection headache for Rhian Wilkinson heading into Euro 2025 surrounds Sophie Ingle.<\/p>\n

Wales’ long-time captain has not played since suffering a serious knee injury during a pre-season game for Chelsea last September.<\/p>\n

Last month, Wilkinson said Ingle had a 50-50 chance of being fit for Wales’ first major women’s tournament.<\/p>\n

There was some encouraging news earlier this month, however, as Ingle trained with the Wales squad before their Nations League defeat to Italy.<\/p>\n

Should Ingle not make it to Switzerland, it would be a heavy blow for the 141-cap midfielder or defender – and a major setback for Wilkinson’s squad. <\/p>\n

We already know that promising defender Mayzee Davies will definitely be missing from the squad today after she suffered a cruciate ligament injury in Denmark three weeks ago. <\/p>\n

Megan Wynne and Laura O’Sullivan-Jones are others who, sadly, will miss out on a place in the squad through injury.<\/p>\n

The likes of Olivia Clark and Rhiannon Roberts have also had injury concerns of late, but the suggestion is they will be fine for tournament duty. <\/p>\n

But will there be any room in the squad for youngsters like Mared Griffiths and Tianna Teisar? Wilkinson has shown a willingness to give younger players a chance, but it will be interesting to see how many make the cut for Switzerland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What are the key selection issues?published at 07:55 British Summer Time 07:55 BST Image source, FAW The key…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":196572,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5010],"tags":[748,4884,16,15,1764],"class_list":{"0":"post-196571","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-wales","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-great-britain","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom","12":"tag-wales"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114708891492539244","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196571","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=196571"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/196571\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/196572"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=196571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=196571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=196571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
