The extraordinary story of when Wales warrior Mark Hughes played two matches in the same day

Wales Women's most capped player Jess Fishlock is planning something special this weekend - appearing for her club side OL Reign in Orlando on Saturday, then jetting across the States to pull on the Wales shirt against the USA in San Diego the following night.

For the avoidance of doubt that's some effort. A total of 2,443 miles, close on six hour plane journey - and the little matter of two matches in the space of 24 hours.

Ultimately it will be down to Welsh manager Gemma Grainger to decide if Fishlock is fit enough to play for her country in the glamour friendly, although she says: "If anyone is going to do it, Jess will. She will do anything to play for Wales. Jess would get off a flight and then run onto the pitch with the shirt on."
