Where does invisible link text fail WCAG2?

Hi all,

We have a weird issue where the text on some links is available to
screenreaders but not visible using a keyboard. So when a keyboard
user tabs to the link, they only get to see a tiny focus rectangle.

Where (if at all) does this one fail WCAG2? Feels like it should be an
info and relationships or a labels issue, but I can'tfind a specific
criterion to fail it under.

Thanks as always, Lyn
