Sophie Ingle Returns to Welsh Squad for Women's Euros Despite Injury
Former Chelsea midfielder Sophie Ingle has been included in Wales' 23-player squad for the Women's European Championship. Despite a previous ACL injury, she has shown significant improvement in training to merit her selection. Angharad James will lead a squad set to face challenging opponents, including defending champions.
Former Chelsea midfielder, Sophie Ingle, has been named in the 23-player Welsh squad for the upcoming Women's European Championship. This selection comes despite Ingle suffering an anterior cruciate ligament injury last September.
Wales manager Rhian Wilkinson confirmed that Ingle has shown considerable progress in her fitness and was deemed fit enough to contribute to the team's efforts in Switzerland. Ingle was released by Chelsea due to her injury, but her determination in training impressed Wilkinson.
With Angharad James as captain, the team will feature players including Jess Fishlock, Wales' most-capped player. The team faces tough competition against defending champions England, France, and the Netherlands starting July 3. They announced their squad atop Snowdon, marking a historic first appearance at a major tournament.
