Sophie Ingle has been named in Wales’ 23-player squad for Euro 2025 having not played since suffering an ACL injury last September.
The 33-year-old midfielder suffered the setback during a pre-season friendly and missed all of Chelsea’s treble-winning season.
Ingle returned to full training at the beginning of the month and her inclusion comes as a significant boost ahead of Wales’ first major tournament.
Wales’ record appearance holder and goalscorer Jess Fishlock has also been included. The 38-year-old, who plays for Seattle Reign, has scored 47 times in 161 matches for her country.
Angharad James will captain the squad and is one of four players to have played over 100 times along with Ingle, Fishlock and Everton’s Hayley Ladd.
