Wales are confident Jess Fishlock will be fit for World Cup play-off action after missing the final qualifying double-header earlier this month. Fishlock, Wales’ most-capped footballer with 134 appearances, has been named in a 26-strong squad for the first of three potential play-off ties against Bosnia and Herzegovina in Cardiff on October 6. “Jess has got a game this weekend, and then she’ll be jumping on that flight, and we’ll be looking forward to seeing her.”Fishlock’s creativity was missed as Wales drew 0-0 with Slovenia in Cardiff to secure a World Cup play-off place. The two best-ranked play-off final winners will secure places at the 2023 World Cup, with the other victorious side going into inter-continental play-offs. Wales are likely to be in the inter-continental play-offs in February should they beat Bosnia and Herzegovina and Switzerland.
