Ingle told the BBC last week that she was relieved to have been selected in Wales’ 23-player squad and would be ready to play if selected, but having now arrived in Switzerland, the former Chelsea midfielder believes she is ready to play from the off against Netherlands.

“I’m feeling really good,” she explained. “Every day I’m on the pitch I feel more confident and more myself, and a lot of the girls this week have said ‘it looks like you haven’t been out for nine months’ which is obviously a compliment and gives me more confidence.

“Sometimes you don’t really know how you’re playing or how you look when you run or how you look when you’re kicking a ball, but to get that feedback off the girls is a really nice moment.

“Then when I’m watching my clips back after training, I do feel like myself again and moving around the pitch really nicely.”

Ingle admits there is a big sense of relief to have made the squad, especially as there was no guarantee she would recover in time.

“I think because they always say on average, it’s nine to 12 months [to recover from an ACL injury]. But as you’ve seen over the last year, especially with some of my teammates at the club, they’ve gone over the 12-month mark,” she said.

“The nine to 12 month recovery, that’s just an average. And it all depends on your body, how your surgery went, what actually was wrong with your knee, because sometimes it’s not just the ACL. But I just think as soon as the girls qualified in December, that was always going to be my target.”
