## Summary

Wales centre Freya Bell will miss the team’s final international of 2026 after injuring her knee against Japan. Her absence is a setback for Wales ahead of the second WXV Test, after she had impressed since making her senior debut earlier this year.

The 21-year-old was stretchered off in the 53rd minute of Wales’ 17-0 win in Tokyo last Saturday, following an awkward fall in a tackle. The Welsh Rugby Union said Bell is awaiting scan results, and doctors will assess the full extent of the injury when she returns home. She will fly back with the squad on Sunday.
