Manager Rhian Wilkinson says goalkeeper Laura O'Sullivan-Jones will have a role with Wales at Euro 2025 despite missing the tournament due to injury.

O'Sullivan Jones, 33, has sustained an ACL injury which has ruled her out of the July tournament in Switzerland - Wales' first ever appearance at a major women's competition.

The Gwalia United player has won 59 international caps since making her Wales debut in 2005.

When asked if O'Sullivan-Jones will still travel to Switzerland with the team this summer, Wilkinson said: "She will be there."

Wilkinson added: "I think there are certain players that whatever their role in Switzerland - whether they're on the team, whether they're a training player or whether they can't be there - have to be there in Switzerland in one capacity or another".

O'Sullivan-Jones was unlikely to start Wales' opening match against the Netherlands in Lucerne on 5 July but was expected to be involved as a squad player.

Fellow keepers Olivia Clark and Safia Middleton-Patel have been the preferred choices during the Nations League campaign.

"There are players that grab the headlines with their injuries because they are front and centre," added Wilkinson.

"Her [O'Sullivan-Jones] representing Wales has been an integral piece of the success of this team.

"Every time I name a roster and her name is not on it, I know that her heart has broken.

"She's not happy just sitting as the second or third string keeper but she does it for the betterment of the team and has done it with such grace and leadership.

"To see her have that injury was really heartbreaking. She is a phenomenal woman who is going to do great things in the sport once she's back.

"But it really is one of those reminders that things can change very quickly and we will miss her in Switzerland and hope that she'll be joining us in a different way".
