Ryan Giggs WILL be involved in Wales' preparations for their next three games despite stepping aside after being arrested on suspicion of attacking his girlfriend... with boss in regular phone contact with assistant Robert Page

Ryan Giggs will have a say in Wales’ preparations for the forthcoming qualifiers despite his absence from the latest training camp.

The manager stepped aside for the next three matches – Thursday’s friendly against USA and the Nations League matches against Ireland and Finland – after he was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and assault earlier this month. Giggs was bailed and denies all the allegations.

Giggs’ assistant Robert Page has taken charge for these games but revealed on Wednesday that he had remained in contact with the former Manchester United star during the planning process.
