But the finals have now been postponed by a year.

And that led to warm-up games against Austria, USA and Holland also being cancelled.

Doubts remain over Uefa’s Nations League this autumn due to the pandemic.

That means it could be March 2021 when the Wales chief finally sees his stars again.

Giggs told  MUTV Group Chat: “Potentially we won’t have been together for over a year, it could be 18 months if it goes to March which isn’t ideal.

“We are supposed to play games in September, October and November which is obviously up in the air at the moment.

“We still don’t know.”

Manchester United legend Giggs added: “It’s a little bit difficult for international matches because you have to travel and there may be quarantines still in effect then.

“And then we go into March which will be the only other time for competitive games that you will have before you go into the tournament.”

Uefa’s executive committee will look at their next steps when they meet on June 17.
