Wales' Elise Hughes in September 2019

WALES welcome back Elise Hughes and Esther Morgan from long-term injuries for the start of their Nations League campaign.

Hughes ruptured her anterior cruciate ligament in April and made her return for Crystal Palace last weekend, coming on as a late substitute in the Eagles’ FA Cup victory over Newcastle.
