Wales head coach Jayne Ludlow has named a squad of 26 players for two key UEFA Women’s EURO 2022 Qualifying Round matches against Faroe Islands and Norway.
Ludlow has included two players that missed out on the squad that lost 1-0 to Norway in Oslo last
month, as goalkeeper Olivia Clark returns for international duty while 18 year old Josie
Longhurst has received her first senior call-up. Meanwhile, Megan Wynne is still unavailable as
she continues her recovery from an ACL injury, plus centurion Loren Dykes is unavailable for
selection due to personal reasons.
Wales will face the Faroe Islands on Thursday 22 October at Rodney Parade. The match against
Norway will then take place on Tuesday 27 October, which will now be held at the Cardiff City
Stadium. Both matches will kick off at 16:30.
The nine group winners and the three best runners-up (not counting results against the sixth-placed team) qualify directly for the final tournament, while the remaining six runners-up advance to the play-offs.
