Wales' Davies to miss Euro 2025 with knee injury

Mayzee Davies signed for Manchester City after being released by Manchester United last summer

Teenage Wales defender Mayzee Davies will miss Euro 2025 after suffering a serious knee injury.

The 18-year-old Manchester City player suffered a rupture to her anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) after falling awkwardly just four minutes into Wales' Nations League defeat in Denmark last Friday.

Davies will therefore be absent this summer as Wales play in their first women's major tournament.

"She'll now return to the City Football Academy to begin her rehabilitation under the guidance of the club's medical team," a Manchester City statement said.

"Everyone at Manchester City would like to wish Mayzee the very best in her recovery."

Davies was winning her sixth cap in Odense having made her Wales debut against Kosovo in April 2024.

There is some good news for Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson, with defender Rhiannon Roberts and goalkeeper Olivia Clark both on course to be fit for the Euros after recent injury scares.

Wales kick off their campaign against Netherlands in Lucerne on 5 July in the opening game of a tough group that also includes France and defending champions England.
