Head coach Rhian Wilkinson after announcing her Women’s Nations league squad:
On the match in Swansea: “I’ve been out to visit the stadium, but yet to play here. So, really looking forward to bringing the team to another one of our homes here in Swansea and a very important game for us as well.”
On the squad: “We’ve got a healthy team. We’ve got players coming back from injury. As a coach, it’s exactly what you want, which is a big healthy squad to make your decisions as hard as possible for the Euros upcoming.”
“When I took the job, I said I wanted to play across Wales, so we’ve played Wrexham, Cardiff, Llanelli and now we’re coming here and playing at Swansea. I think it’s important for the game. I think it’s important for young people across Wales and I look forward to showing the team how loved they are across Wales, not just in Cardiff.
“We’re not having a sendoff game, in terms of an official last game. It didn’t work for us in our preparation but what a perfect way to actually have our final game, a game with a lot of meaning behind it. We’re still in Nations League A. We have the opportunity to stay in the league if we’re able to get points in the next two games. And in a hotbed of football itself, to be playing it here in Swansea.”
A message to the fans: “I said it a couple of times. There is a generation of players coming through for Wales that you cannot miss seeing. They’re a special group, but equally I think these women have made history for Wales in qualifying for the Euros. They’ve given everything they have for this country and whenever they play in front of their fan base, it is a special moment. I just want to thank the fan base in advance for coming out and showing them the love that I know that they have for these players.”
