Aaron Ramsey has picked up a thigh injury
It was understood Ramsey had already made the journey back to Arsenal for treatment, and Giggs confirmed the news at a press conference on Saturday afternoon.
It’s a big blow for the manager ahead of the opening game of Wales’ European Championship qualification campaign.
“We hoped Aaron would make it but he has gone back to Arsenal,” said Giggs.
“It’s a blow.
“We have plan B and we’ve worked on it during the week. He was in good form but it gives a chance for someone else.”
Giggs revealed earlier this week that Ramsey has missed Wednesday’s narrow friendly win over Trinidad and Tobago after he ‘picked up a bit of knock’.
The midfielder, who will become the highest-paid British footballer of all time when he joins Juventus in the summer, watched from the stands alongside Gareth Bale and Ben Davies as Ben Woodburn’s added-time winner saved the Dragons’ blushes.

But while Ramsey will miss out against Slovakia, Bale is now fully fit and will be available.
The Real Madrid ace has been struggling with injury in Spain, but after being rested against Trinidad and Tobago he is raring to go to help get their Euro 2020 quest off to a flyer.

“I’m looking forward to this qualifying campaign for Wales,” said the forward.
“We’re ready to give everything for the jersey. We want to be playing in the major tournaments and experience again what we’ve been through.
“We’re going for top spot. There’s no reason why we can’t win the group.”
