BOSS Rhian Wilkinson says Wales must shed play-off “baggage” to fulfil their European Championship qualification dream.

Wales play the first leg of their Euro 2025 play-off semi-final in Slovakia on Friday, before hosting the return leg in Cardiff four days later.

The winners will face Georgia or the Republic of Ireland for a place at next summer’s finals in Switzerland.
