    Millie Bayliss has withdrawn from the Team Wales squad for the 2026 Commonwealth Games because of injury.

    Bayliss was one of eight individuals in the judo squad initially selected by Team Wales for the showpiece event in Glasgow.

    "I am devastated to be missing Glasgow," said Bayliss.

    "It was something I had worked so hard for and dreamed about for a long time, so it is incredibly difficult to accept.

    "This is just one chapter in my career and I am determined to recover and come back stronger."

    It is the latest withdrawal after weightlifter Maddy Connelly was forced out of Glasgow because of injury.

    "We are incredibly disappointed for Millie," said Team Wales chef de mission Gethin Jones.

    "To earn selection for a Commonwealth Games is the result of years of hard work, commitment and sacrifice, so to have that opportunity taken away is heart-breaking."

    There are now 113 athletes competing for Team Wales with 65 women and 48 men involved in the 10 sports.
