Rhian Wilkinson says Jess Fishlock should be an inspiration for her Wales team-mates after declaring her fully fit for Wales' Euro 2025 play-off final against the Republic of Ireland.
Live on BBC One Wales, iPlayer, BBC Radio Wales and Radio Cymru, the BBC Sport website and app, plus live text commentary. Highlights S4C and later on demand.
Fishlock, 37, delivered a memorable display to help Wales turn around their play-off semi-final against Slovakia last month despite the fact that she had not played in seven weeks because of injury. Having suffered a leg injury playing for club side Seattle Reign in early September, Fishlock had been a doubt for Wales' play-off ties against Slovakia.
"But she plays a whole different level when she plays for Wales because she expects that pressure and she has lived with it for a long time. Uncapped duo Mared Griffiths and Tianna Teisar are included, but long-term injury victims Sophie Ingle, Elise Hughes and Esther Morgan remain out.
