Loren Dykes could join the 100 club after being named in the Wales women squad for the friendly with the Czech Republic in Newport on April 4.

The Bristol City defender has won 99 caps and will become only the second player to reach the century – joining Jess Fishlock – if she plays at Rodney Parade.

Manager Jayne Ludlow has named a 20-player squad for the game which has already set a record for the biggest attended friendly for a Wales women’s match.

More than 1000 tickets have already been sold for the game.

Ludlow has also recalled FAW Young Player of the Year Elise Hughes and Tottenham Hotspur defender Anna Filbey to the squad.

The players missed the double header match against the Republic of Ireland in Marbella through injury.

Tickets for the match are still available and can be purchased at www.faw.cymru/tickets.
