Wales has been forced to cancel a planned training session after the team bus was involved in a crash.
The Wales bus was on its way to training in St Gallen ahead of Wednesday (July 7) night’s Euro 2025 clash with France when it was involved in an accident.
Head coach Rhian Wilkinson, who was not on the coach as she and midfielder Angharad James travelled separately to the stadium for the pre-match press conference, said she believed all the players were uninjured following the incident.
Although reports suggested the driver of another vehicle involved was receiving medical treatment at the scene.

Wilkinson said: “This is really developing right now, so we are trying to be as clear and transparent as possible.
“I think everyone, from all reports, is OK, and we just need to get them all together and get everyone away from the scene to reassess.
"We’ve got great staff, great support, and we will make sure that everyone continues to be OK.
“More importantly, I think the driver of the other vehicle is OK as well. We will let everyone know once we know for sure.”
Wales have now cancelled their planned training session at the stadium as a result of the crash.
