Jess Fishlock is in contention to play in what is being billed as Wales Women’s biggest game in their history, manager Gemma Grainger has revealed.
The talismanic midfielder was surprisingly absent from Wales’ starting XI in the team’s penultimate Group I World Cup qualifier away to Greece on Friday due to a knock. Wales sealed a 1-0 victory with a first international goal from 19-year-old starlet Carrie Jones, setting up an historic night at Cardiff City Stadium in a winner-takes-all finale against Slovenia this evening (Tuesday, September 6, 7.45pm kick-off). The match is being broadcast live on BBC One Wales and iPlayer, while you'll also be available to follow live updates via WalesOnline from Tuesday evening.
While Grainger admitted that Friday’s triumph demonstrated a crucial ability to adapt under pressure, she is hopeful that Wales' most-capped player and first centurion will play a role against Slovenia in front of a record crowd of more than 12,000.
