Seattle Reign officials have dismissed reports suggesting that midfielder Jess Fishlock suffered a injury that could force her retirement. The Wales legend left the pitch during a recent National Women's Soccer League fixture, leading to concerns regarding her long-term fitness. However, the club confirmed that while Fishlock requires treatment, the issue is not as severe as initially feared, according to The Equalizer.
Fishlock remains a central figure for both her club and the Wales national team. She has earned over 150 caps for her country and became the first Welsh player to reach that milestone, per The Guardian. The 39-year-old midfielder continues to be an integral part of the Reign squad as they compete in the 2026 domestic season.
Medical staff at the Seattle-based club are currently monitoring her recovery process. No specific timeline has been provided for her return to competitive action, but the player is expected to continue her professional career. The update provides a boost for Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson ahead of upcoming international windows, according to Sky Sports.
