Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson has urged her side to “find a way to deliver” ahead of their final two European Championship qualifying games. Her side sit second in Group B4 and kick off their final batch of matches with a trip to group leaders Croatia on Friday, before facing Kosovo in Llanelli next Tuesday.

Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson says the club commitments of United States-based trio Jess Fishlock, Angharad James and Lily Woodham will disrupt her plans for the vital Euro 2025 qualifier in Croatia. The Seattle Reign trio are due to line up against Utah Royals in the NWSL on Sunday July 7, a contest which kicks off at 11pm BST.

The latest Wales captain Hayley Ladd has admitted the team is suffering teething problems under new head coach Rhian Wilkinson. Back-to-back draws against Ukraine have secured Wales a place in the Euro 2025 play-offs.

Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson insists her team are still in control of their Euro 2025 qualification group despite a frustrating 1-1 draw at home to Ukraine in Llanelli. After back-to-back victories for Wilkinson in her first two matches in charge, this was a mis-step for the Canadian coach, although Wales’ position in the group is still a strong one.

Angharad James will captain Wales against Ukraine in Friday’s Euro 2025 qualifier, but may not get the job on a full-time basis. Wales have been without a permanent skipper since Sophie Ingle stepped down after Rhian Wilkinson’s first game in charge, a 4-0 victory over Croatia in their opening Euro 2025 qualifier last month.

Wales boss Rhian Wilkinson has welcomed the “science” to understand why so many female footballers suffer anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries after losing Elise Hughes for the rest of the UEFA Euro 2025 qualifying campaign. Hughes was top Crystal Palace scorer with 16 goals in 21 games as the Eagles secured promotion to the Women’s Super League by winning the Championship title.

Wales goalscorers Ffion Morgan and Rachel Rowe believe new manager Rhian Wilkinson has laid solid foundations for a successful Euro qualification campaign after back-to-back victories. Morgan and Rowe were both on the scoresheet as Wales maintained a perfect start to their Euro 2025 mission with a comprehensive 6-0 win over Kosovo in Podujevo on Tuesday.

Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson intends to take her time in finding a permanent replacement for Sophie Ingle as captain. Wilkinson has confirmed that Jess Fishlock will be skipper when they face Kosovo in Podujevo on Tuesday in their second Euro 2025 qualifier, but the recently-appointed Canadian boss will not name a permanent captain for “a little while”.

Chelsea midfielder Sophie Ingle has stepped down as captain of Wales after nine years in the role. The 32-year-old, who has won 136 international caps, led her country in their first match under new manager Rhian Wilkinson, Friday’s 4-0 Euro 2025 qualifier win over Croatia.

Rhian Wilkinson spoke of her pride after watching Wales thrash Croatia 4-0 in her first match in charge – but has special praise for Jess Fishlock. Wales manager Wilkinson marked her opening chapter by writing an action-packed Euro 2025 qualifying campaign victory in style with Fishlock once again the main character..

Wales captain Sophie Ingle has described how there is “a lot of positive detail” from Rhian Wilkinson’s first camp as Wales manager. Midfielder Ingle, who has won four Women’s Super League titles with Chelsea, will hope to help the national team off to a winning start to their Euro 2025 qualifying campaign. “It’s been good,” Ingle said, ahead of the home clash against Croatia in Wrexham on Friday night – the first since Wlkinson took over from the departed Gemma Grainger.

New boss Rhian Wilkinson plans to bring an end to Wales’ major tournament wait by adding her own touch to ‘The Welsh Way’. Wales welcome Croatia to Wrexham on Friday for their opening Euro 2025 qualifier, with Wilkinson just over a month into the role following Gemma Grainger’s shock departure to manage Norway.
