There's still a few selections that remain uncertain, Sophie Ingle's selection or absence, for example.

A player of her calibre, even at 70% I don't think it's a risk.

That's what squad depth is there for, that's why it exists.

Her experience and presence could be invaluable, even if she's not operating at full capacity, her leadership and experience is undeniable.

Whether the medical staff think she handle the demands of a tournament and actually be included in the squad, that's only a decision they can make knowing where she is in terms of her progress.

But there are still a few weeks left for her to get up to full speed.

Jess Fishlock is our equivalent of Gareth Bale, she's one of our very best ever players, male or female, and a player who's played for some of the best teams across the world.

It's not all about Jess though, we've got four players who have got a century of caps, and I expect them to all be named in the squad, but we've also got some great exciting youngsters.

It'll be interesting to see how many of them get into the squad.

The question mark for me is Sophie Ingle, but that's purely from a fitness perspective.

If she's deemed fit by the physios, as in fit to fully take part in training and is free to play games, you have to take her.

Not just her level of experience, but also what she'll bring to training, her influence on games, she's super composed.

She's played more WSL matches than anyone else in the squad and she's played in the Champions League.

She will still do a job, either in a holding midfield role, but you'd have to have energy around her, or in defence. She can slot into the backline easily.

However, she's right on the cusp of what a normal return to play for an ACL injury would be, and that's if everything has gone OK. Nine months is typically what you come back in.

It's one thing coming back fitness-wise, but it's another thing being OK mentally.

It proved to be a glorious qualifying campaign for Wales in 2024.

Ahead of today's squad announcement, you can relive some of the best goals from qualifying right here.

This announcement is something special and a lot of thought has gone into it from the Football Association of Wales.

it's our first qualification, and the weight of not qualifying was very heavy on everyone's shoulders.

There's a symbolism about Yr Wyddfa, it's the highest summit in Wales and it ties in with the summit of ambition of the Euros this summer.

It's a historic occasion here today, there's so much excitement around the place.

I'm nervous for the players, one or two of them are bound to miss out, but for the rest of the players what a day it'll be for them.

If you have not listened to it yet, then here is a handy reminder that our Iconic: The Rise of the Women in Red series is available now.

It promises to be a unique squad announcement for Wales today, from the summit of the country's highest peak.

Fancy a few numbers? Of course you do!

Yr Wyddfa's peak stands at 3,560 feet (1,085 metres).

There are six different routes you can follow to scale the mountain: Llanberis Path, Pyg Track, Miners’ Track, Watkin Path, Rhyd-Ddu Path and the Snowdon Ranger Path.

Llanberis Path is the easiest but longest path to follow, and it closely follows the route of the mountain's railway - which will be used by Rhian Wilkinson, FAW staff and media today.

It is said around 4 million people visit Eryri National Park every year.

Rhian Wilkinson is not among the passengers on the train heading to the top of Yr Wyddfa.

As has been mentioned, it turns out she’s decided to climb to the top for the announcement, which shouldn’t be too big a surprise.

She’s apparently already walked the mountain five times in the two years or so since she replaced Gemma Grainger as Wales boss.

The former Canada international has strong ties with Wales – her mother is from Cardiff – and spent a year living year as a schoolchild and says their family would visit Eryri national park often.

Kayleigh Barton, I'm sort of appalled we haven't seen a little bit more of her, even if it's just for the last 10 minutes in games.

I think we're sleeping on Kayleigh Barton's ability a little bit.

She's the second highest scorer in the whole squad behind Jess Fishlock.

We've seen how composed she is when it comes to penalties. I think her hold up play is up there with the strongest in the whole squad and how she brings others into play.

There's going to be times where we're suffering a lot without the ball.

We're going to need an outlet of some sort, whether it's to chase down loose balls, which she can do, initiate presses, which she can also do, and also hold it up for us and win fouls and just get us a little bit of a breather and some territory.

Her experience is going to be really important I think.

One player who is almost certain to be included in Rhian Wilkinson's squad is Kayleigh Barton.

The striker has scored 22 goals in 86 appearances for her country.

However, she recently confirmed she had left Charlton Athletic to take up the role of head coach role at Saltdean United Women.

"I'm really excited to begin my role," Barton said.

"I believe we have a talented group of players and together we can achieve something special this season.

"I am looking forward to kicking off the season."

The night Wales made history.

We are waiting for news of Wales' Euro 2025 squad this morning courtesy of a Euro 2025 play-off victory over the Republic of Ireland, with Rhian Wilkinson's side winning 3-2 on aggregate after a 2-1 second-leg success at the Aviva Stadium.

As the clock ticks down to the squad announcement, which as we mentioned is due at 09:00 BST, why not pass the time by watching highlights of Wales' wondrous night in Dublin?

So it appears we have breaking news regarding Rhian Wilkinson's travel arrangements this morning...

A Football Association of Wales social media post, external says Wilkinson is hiking up Yr Wyddfa before facing the assembled media to unveil her squad.

All in a day's work for the Wales head coach.

Expect her pre-match press conferences in Switzerland this summer to be held somewhere in the Alps. Perhaps.

Wales head coach Rhian Wilkinson and her backroom staff will have been deep in conversation over the past few days over today's squad announcement.

The recent Nations League campaign may well have played a significant role in her selection process.

There will also have been plenty of consideration around finding the right blend of youth and experience.

Leading into today's squad announcement, here is a closer look at the key topics Wilkinson will have looked into of late and what those in and around the camp have been saying.

I don't think there will be any massive surprises.

Starting with the goalkeepers, Olivia Clark and Safia Middleton-Patel are nailed on and I think Liv will just about take the number one jersey.

The third keeper is a bit more up for grabs. It looks like it's between Soffia Kelly and Poppy Soper, so it will be interesting to see how that one goes.

The other question mark is Sophie Ingle. I think if she has any chance of being on the pitch, she will be in the squad because she adds so much value.

She makes the team better first and foremost and adds so much to the group as a leader. The girls need her around.

The one other question is whether young players like Tianna Teisar and Mared Griffiths get in and, if they do, at whose expense.

It's a shame that Laura O'Sullivan-Jones and Mayzee Davies miss out through injury. They would both have had parts to play, so there are questions about who comes in.

I just feel all the experienced players will be there.

I am guessing the only question mark Rhian Wilkinson has is over some of the younger players who are not that experienced.

She will be thinking that should she need to call on them, which players will be able to cope with the pressure, the expectation and the demands of a big tournament?

But at the end of the day, I think she should reward the youngsters who have been involved consistently because they have the most experience.

I believe Sophie Ingle will be named in the squad regardless of how close she is to a comeback, bearing in mind she is in full-contact training I believe.

Yes it's probably come a little bit too soon for her, but I know she has been working really hard to get as close as possible.

How can you not take Sophie Ingle? It's a no-brainer.

Danny Gabbidon
Former Wales defender

I think in these moments as a manager you lean towards experience and players you trust.

The group have been together for a long time and I don't see too many of the younger players doing enough to force their way in.

The things to look out for are the fitness of Rhiannon Roberts - I think people are saying she will be good to go.

The injury to Mayzee Davies is a shame because she's a fantastic talent and that opens a spot up. Will a defender or a midfielder come in instead, or will Sophie Ingle come in for her?

If there was to be a wildcard pick, you would probably look at young Mared Griffiths, who announced herself to everybody when she scored those two goals on debut for Manchester United.

You might see a similar squad to England, where it's top heavy with attackers and not so many midfielders because Wales have a couple of players who can play in defence and midfield.

The key selection headache for Rhian Wilkinson heading into Euro 2025 surrounds Sophie Ingle.

Wales' long-time captain has not played since suffering a serious knee injury during a pre-season game for Chelsea last September.

Last month, Wilkinson said Ingle had a 50-50 chance of being fit for Wales' first major women's tournament.

There was some encouraging news earlier this month, however, as Ingle trained with the Wales squad before their Nations League defeat to Italy.

Should Ingle not make it to Switzerland, it would be a heavy blow for the 141-cap midfielder or defender - and a major setback for Wilkinson's squad.

We already know that promising defender Mayzee Davies will definitely be missing from the squad today after she suffered a cruciate ligament injury in Denmark three weeks ago.

Megan Wynne and Laura O'Sullivan-Jones are others who, sadly, will miss out on a place in the squad through injury.

The likes of Olivia Clark and Rhiannon Roberts have also had injury concerns of late, but the suggestion is they will be fine for tournament duty.

But will there be any room in the squad for youngsters like Mared Griffiths and Tianna Teisar? Wilkinson has shown a willingness to give younger players a chance, but it will be interesting to see how many make the cut for Switzerland.
