Wales manager Ryan Giggs said midfielder Aaron Ramsey missing his country’s opening Euro 2020 qualifier against Slovakia on Sunday due to injury is a “blow”.
The 28-year-old Arsenal star — who is to join defending Serie A champions Juventus next season — has returned to his club having failed to recover from a thigh injury that prevented him playing in Wedbnesday’s 1-0 friendly win over Trinidad and Tobago. “We hoped Aaron would make it but he has gone back to Arsenal. It’s a blow,” Giggs said at his eve of match press conference on Saturday.
However, brighter news for Giggs is that their star player Gareth Bale — instrumental like Ramsey in their surprising run to the 2016 semi-finals which included a 2-1 group stage win over the Slovakians — will return to the starting line-up having sat out the friendly.“We’re ready to give everything for the jersey.“We’re going for top spot. There’s no reason why we can’t win the group.”
Bale could be joined in the starting XI by highly-rated Bournemouth wing David Brooks, who appears to have recovered from an ankle injury as the 21-year-old was able to take part in training.
