Wales will be without influential midfielder Jess Fishlock for Tuesday's Nations League game in Sweden.

Record cap-holder Fishlock, 38, has not travelled to Gothenberg because of injury.

Wales' all-time leading scorer came into this camp having missed her most recent club match for Seattle Reign and was an unused substitute for Friday's 2-1 home defeat by Denmark.

Fishlock won her latest, and 160th, cap as a second-half substitute in February's 1-1 draw with Sweden at Cardiff City Stadium.

She had started the 1-0 loss in Italy three days earlier in Wales' opening Nations League Group A4 game.

Rhian Wilkinson's side are bottom of the four-team group with a single point from three games.

Wilkinson is also without experienced players Sophie Ingle, Kayleigh Barton and Ceri Holland for Tuesday's match.

Midfielder Holland left the field on a stretcher on Friday and was taken to hospital with her right leg in a protective boot after a heavy collision.

However, the Football Association of Wales has since said the injury is "not as serious as first feared".
