Paul Dummett is likely to be withdrawn from the Wales squad to face Albania on Tuesday night - according to Ryan Giggs.

The Newcastle United left-back pulled up after 38 minutes of the 2-1 defeat against Denmark in Cardiff and will be assessed by Toon medics on his return to Tyneside.

Giggs stated that the player who came on for Dummett - Chris Gunter - would start the UEFA Nations League group game in Elbasan.

When asked for an update on injuries, former Manchester United and Wales star Giggs said: "We had a couple of injuries.

"You would have thought they won't make it for Tuesday.

"We will have to see how the lads are in the next couple of days.

"If they are injured they won't be travelling.

"Chris Gunter will start the game on Tuesday."

Newcastle would be short of a specialist left-back for their trip to Burnley on Monday were Dummett to be ruled out.

Kenedy deputised earlier this season after Dummett was rested as a precaution with a hamstring injury while Javier Manquillo is also a contender.

Achraf Lazaar has also trained recently with the first team again but is still down the pecking order after returning to the club in the summer after a loan spell with Benevento.
