Here's what Giggs had to say about Gareth Bale's injury.

Bale is set to be presented with a Golden Boot award before the match after breaking Ian Rush's Wales goalscoring record earlier this year.

Elsewhere, Joe Ledley and Tom Lockyer both missed out on the squad due to injury, while Swansea City centre-back Joe Rodon has replaced left-back Paul Dummett in the squad due to the Newcastle United man's withdrawal due to a hamstring problem.

As for Spain, they will be without the likes of David Silva, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique who all retired after the 2018 World Cup in Russia while Barcelona's Sergi Roberto remains sidelined with a muscle injury.

Atletico Madrid striker Diego Costa is also unavailable after suffering a hamstring injury in his side's 3-1 Champions League win over Club Brugge.

What are the squads?

Wales

Hennessey, Ward, A Davies; A Williams, Chester, B Davies, Gunter, C Roberts, Mepham, Richards, Ampadu, Rodon, John; Allen, King, Brooks, Smith, Ramsey; Bale, Woodburn, Wilson, Lawrence, Vokes, Thomas, T Roberts.

Spain

De Gea, Kepa, P Lopez; Azpilicueta, Albiol, Alonso, J Otto, Nacho, Gaya, Bartra, Ramos; Thiago, Busquets, Ceballos, R Hernandez, Saul, Koke; Alcacer, Asensio, Aspas, Suso, Morata, Rodrigo.

I'm confused what did Giggs say about Bales injury?

Personally with his injury record I think he could take a leaf out of Giggs book and not play in friendlies.
