Alisha Butchers will return to Wales after sustaining a knee injury

Wales flanker Alisha Butchers sustained a significant knee injury during the win over Scotland on Sunday and will return home for further investigation and treatment.

Wales Women’s head coach Ioan Cunningham said, “Alisha is a fantastic player, she’s a huge part of our environment on and off the field and I have every confidence she will work as hard on her rehab as she does in training and on the pitch.

“We wish her a speedy recovery and look forward to having her back in our programme as soon as possible.”

Wales will make a decision regarding Alisha’s replacement in the coming days.
