Wales defender Mayzee Davies says missing the team's first major tournament appearance at Euro 2025 because of a serious knee injury has given her extra motivation heading into the World Cup play-offs.
Davies was sidelined for Wales' historic tournament debut after suffering the injury, missing out on what would have been a landmark moment for the squad.
Looking ahead to the play-offs
With Wales now turning attention to World Cup qualification play-offs, Davies says the disappointment of missing Euro 2025 has strengthened her determination to contribute to the team's next major tournament push.
Recovery from a serious knee injury typically involves an extended rehabilitation period, and Davies' return to contention reflects the completion of that process ahead of the upcoming fixtures.
Wales' women's team will be looking to build on the momentum of their first major tournament appearance as they pursue qualification for the World Cup.
