Updated

Wales have cancelled a press conference scheduled for Tuesday following an "alleged incident" involving manager Ryan Giggs.

The former Manchester United winger was arrested on suspicion of assaulting his girlfriend Kate Greville at his £1.7million mansion, according to the Daily Mail.

A Greater Manchester Police spokesman told The Sun: "Police were called at 10.05pm on Sunday to reports of a disturbance. A woman in her 30s sustained minor injuries but did not require any treatment.

"A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of section 47 assault and section 39 common assault."

He was released on bail and was photographed leaving Pendleton police station.

Wales were due to announce their squad on Tuesday for the upcoming friendly against the USA, and Nations League fixtures with the Republic of Ireland and Finland.

But the Football Association of Wales (FAW) has confirmed it has been made aware of an issue surrounding 46-year-old boss Giggs.

"The FAW is aware of an alleged incident involving the men's national team manager Ryan Giggs," an FAW spokesman told the PA news agency.

"The FAW will be making no further comment at this current time."

Wales will host the USA on Thursday, November 12, before facing Ireland at home and then travelling to Scandinavia to meet Finland.
