"Ceri is not replaceable, just like [the recently retired] Jess Fishlock, Kayleigh Barton. These are unique individuals who always bring something very special. But that leaves a space for someone to step into and absolutely I think there'll be players ready to step in and deliver a performance for Wales."
"I don't think that's for me to speak of, about what's up with Ceri. I think her club can answer that, but obviously she has been playing fantastically for Wales and also for Liverpool and she's a big loss."
"Even without Holland, as well as fellow injured players Olivia Clark and Lois Joel, Wales will start as firm favourites to claim two victories against Albania, opponents they have never previously faced."
"Wilkinson spelling out the need for her team to register two victories this week to keep their Women's World Cup qualification bid on track."
Ceri Holland will miss two crucial Women's World Cup qualifying matches against Albania due to injury. Head coach Rhian Wilkinson emphasizes the need for other players to step up in her absence. Holland, a key player for Wales and Liverpool, is considered irreplaceable, but her absence presents an opportunity for others to shine. Despite injuries to Holland and other players, Wales is favored to win against Albania, who are ranked significantly lower in the world. Wilkinson stresses the importance of securing two victories to maintain their qualification hopes.
