Wales team bus involved in accident on way to training at Women's Euro 2025
An ambulance was called to the scene to attend to the driver of the other vehicle but the Welsh Football Association said the passengers and drivers in both vehicles were unharmed. A shaken Wales head coach, Rhian Wilkinson, had described her players and staff as 'okay'.
Wilkinson, the Wales captain Angharad James, and the team's media manager Owain Harries, did not travel on the bus. That trio were driven to St Gallen in a separate car to front a press conference at the stadium before Wednesday's Group D match against France.
The team were not far from their hotel about 30 minutes' drive from St Gallen when the collision occurred.

'I have been assured everyone on the bus is okay,' said a clearly shocked Wales coach, who cancelled the planned training session at the stadium. She said: 'Football is secondary now; we're shaken. Our priority now is to get everyone together and away from the scene.'
Wales beat the Republic of Ireland over two legs of a playoff to qualify for the event.

Late Rijeka goal breaks Shelbourne's hearts in dramatic Europa League qualifier
Europa League 3rd qualifying round, 2nd leg: Shelbourne 1 (Mipo 86) Rijeka 3 (Fruk 33, Dantas 73, Orec 90) (Rijeka win 4-3 on aggregate) A 90th-minute winner ended Shelbourne 's Europa League quest as the League of Ireland champions' endless endeavour wasn't enough on a stirring night at Tolka Park. Trailing to two utterly sublime goals from Toni Fruk and Tiago Dantas which put the Croatian champions ahead in the tie, the real drama arrived inside the last 10 minutes. First a three-minute VAR check finally awarded Shelbourne an 86th-minute penalty after substitute John Martin's shirt had been tugged by Ante Orec as he went for Harry Wood's cross. Far from perfect, Mipo Odubeko's spot kick had sufficient purchase to go under the body of Martin Zlomislic to level a roller-coaster tie at 3-3. READ MORE But villain at one end, Orec would prove the visitors' hero at the other in the final minute of regulation time. Niko Jankovic, a €5 million target for José Mourinho's Fenerbahce, touched a cross from Merveil Ndockyt down for right-back Orec who tuned deftly to fire into the bottom corner from the edge of the area to break Reds' hearts. While now out of two Uefa competitions, Shelbourne's European journey will continue into the play-off round of the Conference League next week. Their opponents there won't be known until Thursday, but could well tee up a second meeting this summer with Linfield should the Irish League champions overcome Vikingur of the Faroe Islands whom they trail 2-1 ahead of their second leg. It's 21 years since arguably the greatest European night Tolka Park had seen when Shelbourne overturned a 3-2 first leg deficit to beat another Croatian side in Hajduk Split 2-0. That memory was celebrated by the Reds' staunch support in the riverside in draping a strip banner over the front of the stand emblazoned with the words 'Spirit of '04'. Chasing the tie, Rijeka got on the ball from the off to enjoy good early possession. But it was Shelbourne who raised the game's first talking point three minutes in. Wood's long ball dropped for the run of Ali Coote who got in behind Ante Majstorovic before falling over goalkeeper Zlomislic. Loads roars for a penalty were ignored by the Romanian referee while VAR were happy there was no infringement. WHAT A GOAL FROM TONI FRUK!!! — Croatian Football (@CroatiaFooty) Shelbourne were further miffed at the other end minutes later when Fruk went down a little too easily from Paddy Barrett's slight touch. The wall did its job from Fruk's driven free-kick with Tiago Dantas drilling the rebound wide. Rijeka maintained their dominance of the ball as Shelbourne defended en bloc, Kerr McInroy epitomising their tenacity with a brave block on a shot from Fruk. It was 20 minutes before Wessel Speel between the Shelbourne posts had much to do as he got down to comfortably hold a speculative shot from distance by Ante Juric. There was a scare from a Jankovic corner on 27 minutes, Shelbourne happy to see Majstorovic's near post effort fly wide. Just as Shelbourne began to see more of the ball, Rijeka struck in stunning fashion on 33 minutes. Juric and Dantas in turn teed up Orec's cross for their talisman Fruk who arced a brilliant first-time volley from 25 yards to the far corner past Speel's despairing dive for a sensational goal. That opened the tie right up with Shelbourne missing a glorious chance to level on the night two minutes later. Milan Mbeng got down the right for the first time to cross to the back post. A straining James Norris did well to nod the ball down for McInroy whose left-foot volley was straight at Martin Zlomislic. Coote miscued the rebound wide as the chance was lost. Rijeka soon got back on the ball, Petrovic heading narrowly wide from another Jankovic corner while Speel got down to hold a shot from Dantas, as Shelbourne held on for the half-time whistle. WRAP IT UP! WE HAVE GOAL OF THE SEASON ALREADY! TIAGO DANTAS! — Croatian Football (@CroatiaFooty) Last week's match-winner Martin replaced Coote for the second half as Shelbourne went with two up top. And it brought another real home chance seven minutes in. McInroy's long ball found the run of Martin whose cross into the near post saw Odubeko shoot just wide, albeit under pressure from Mladen Devetak. While the direct approach was bringing Shelbourne more of the ball in the final third, Rijeka countered dangerously, Jankovic working Speel while Fruk curled a shot wide before Dantas then made it 2-0 on 72 minutes with another sublime goal. With Shelbourne guilty of giving him too much time and space some 35 yards out, the Portuguese midfielder collected Devetak's pass, took a touch and unleashed a cracking right foot shot that arrowed to Speel's top left corner before the real drama arrived late on. Shelbourne: Speel; Mbeng, Bone, Barrett, Ledwidge, Norris (Caffrey, 79); McInroy (Kelly, 90+1), Lunney (Chapman, 79); Wood, Coote (Martin, h-t); Odubeko. HNK Rijeka: Zlomislic; Orec, Majstorovic Radeljic, Devetak; Petrovic, Dantas (Kreilach, 90+1); Ndockyt (Menalo, 90+4), Fruk, Jankovic; Juric (Lasickas, 75). Referee: Marian Bardu (Romania).

Manchester United eye Brighton's Carlos Baleba while Liverpool track Giovanni Leoni
Manchester United are exploring a move for Carlos Baleba but are expected to have to pay a transfer record for an African player if they can persuade Brighton to sell the Cameroon midfielder. It is understood United have identified Baleba, who excelled for Fabian Hürzeler's side last season, as a potential long-term solution for their issues in central midfield. The 21-year-old has three years on his contract, which Brighton have an option to extend by 12 months. Sources close to Baleba have indicated he is keen to join United if an agreement can be reached. Brighton are adamant he is not for sale, and it is understood it would require an offer well above the £72m Arsenal paid Lille for Ivory Coast forward Nicolas Pépé in 2019 to tempt them into changing their stance. It has been suggested it may take more than £100m to sign a player rated as one of the best emerging talents in world football. Any United bid for Baleba is understood to be dependent on players being moved on, with Chelsea still in talks over a deal for Alejandro Garnacho and Milan interested in Rasmus Højlund. They have been trying to offload two other attackers, Jadon Sancho and Antony, who are on big wages. United have spent more than £200m this summer on the forwards Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo, another Cameroon international. READ MORE Baleba, who joined Brighton in 2023 from Lille for £23m, told the Guardian earlier this year that he was happy at Brighton but admitted he wanted 'to do more'. He said: 'I want to be a big midfielder, to be a legend, across the world.' Brighton's chief executive, Paul Barber, said last week at a fans' forum that United had yet to be in touch but acknowledged Baleba could leave. 'Carlos is a fantastic talent,' he said. 'We hope he'll be here for years to come – but it's subject to the dynamics of the football world, which isn't always predictable.' Liverpool are considering a move for the Parma centre-half Giovanni Leoni as they look to increase Arne Slot's defensive options. The 18-year-old impressed in the second half of last season, making 17 appearances, and has attracted interest from several Serie A clubs this summer, including Inter. Their coach, Cristian Chivu, was in charge at Parma last season. Liverpool are also keen on the 6ft 5in defender and ready to step up their interest if they receive encouragement that he is open to leaving Italy. The Premier League champions have not made an approach to Parma. Crystal Palace's Marc Guéhi remains Liverpool's main defensive target and Steve Parish, the Palace chair, conceded after Sunday's Community Shield that it would be better to sell the England international than lose him for nothing next summer. Liverpool hope Palace will lower their asking price for the 25-year-old as transfer deadline approaches. The champions could move for Guéhi and Leoni this summer. Virgil van Dijk and Ibrahima Konaté are the only established central defenders available to Slot for Friday's Premier League opener against Bournemouth. Liverpool have sold Jarell Quansah to Bayer Leverkusen and Joe Gomez missed the final games of preseason with a minor Achilles injury. Slot admitted after the Community Shield penalty shoot-out defeat by Palace that Liverpool's defending in preseason had been a cause for concern. Tottenham have opened talks over a move for Eberechi Eze, whose £68m release clause expires on Friday, and are pushing to beat Arsenal to the Crystal Palace attacker. Arsenal have indicated they need to make sales in attack before pressing ahead with their pursuit of the England international. The delay from Arsenal, who are looking for buyers for Leandro Trossard, has opened the door for Spurs to act on their long-standing interest. Thomas Frank, the new Spurs manager, needs attacking additions after losing James Maddison to a long-term knee injury and missing out on the signing of Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White. They can offer Champions League football to Eze after winning the Europa League last season. – Guardian
