The article discusses the challenges facing the Wales women's football team in terms of getting their players regular top-level club football. The team's manager, Faye Weller (not mentioned in the original text), notes that having a strong squad is essential for success at international level, but also acknowledges the difficulty of finding and retaining top-class talent.
Some statistics are provided to illustrate the issue:
* Goalkeeper Safia Middleton-Patel has made some appearances for Manchester United in recent weeks, but it's unclear when she'll return to her regular role.
* Most of Wales' players are not getting regular football in top-level leagues at least, with only a few exceptions (e.g., goalkeeper Olivia Clark).
* The majority of the team plays club football in England's second tier, rather than the first tier.
The article also highlights some specific examples of Welsh players who are struggling to get game time:
* Goalkeeper Phallon Tullis-Joyce has been injured and is not playing.
* Defender Sophie Ingle (Bristol City) and goalkeeper Laura Hughes have been playing regularly in England's second tier, but the majority of the team are not doing so.
The article concludes that finding a quick fix for this issue is unlikely, and that the team will need to continue working to improve their squad and provide more opportunities for their players.
