Natasha Harding left out of squad as Wales boss Gemma Grainger plans for evolution

Wales centurion Natasha Harding has been omitted from Gemma Grainger’s latest squad due to a "non-footballing decision".

The Wales boss announced an unchanged squad for her side’s upcoming friendly against Finland in Pinatar, Spain. The match marks the first time the team will meet since their agonising World Cup play-off final loss to Switzerland in Zurich last month.

Harding has not featured for the national team since the squad’s goalless draw with Slovenia on September 6 which booked Wales a historic World Cup qualifying play-off berth. However, the forward has featured for her new club Aston Villa in their last five fixtures, netting her first goal in her first start for the Midlands-based club against Everton at the end of October.
