Wales midfielder Jess Fishlock has joined the national squad ahead of their 2027 Women's World Cup qualifying matches. Teammate Carrie Jones stated the players are grateful for the veteran's presence in the dressing room. Fishlock recently recovered from a leg injury that had limited her appearances for Seattle Reign in the United States, according to the Football Association of Wales.
The 37-year-old midfielder is Wales' most capped player with 154 international appearances. She remains a central figure for Rhian Wilkinson's side as they prepare for their opening group fixtures. Jones noted that Fishlock provides essential leadership for the younger members of the team.
Wales begin their campaign next week as they seek to qualify for a major tournament for the first time. The squad includes several key players from the Women's Super League and the Championship. Football Association of Wales officials confirmed that the full squad reported for training earlier today in Cardiff. Wilkinson intends to finalise her starting eleven by Monday, per Sky Sports.
