But who can Wales at Euro 2020 finals?
The 19-year-old already has 13 caps under his belt for his country and is arguably one of the most technicallygifted players at Wales’ disposal right now.
His impressive showing for RB Leipzig against Tottenham in the Champions League one of the best examples yet of his capabilities.
The only possible concern Giggs may have is the player’s lack of game time for the German outfit, with Ampadu playing just six times for the club so far this season.
WILL VAULKS
THE Cardiff City star has four caps to his name and is likely to have been in Giggs’ thinking for this summer anyway, albeit probably not in the same bracket as the previous two.
Vaulks has played just five minutes of international football since starting the 2-1 defeat out in Croatia, but has nevertheless been a regular feature in recent squads.
Game time for Cardiff hasn’t always been forthcoming, but the new calendar year, under the guidance of Bluebirds boss Neil Harris, has seen Vaulks enjoy a huge turnaround and he’s now played every minute of
Cardiff’s last nine games, scoring two goals.
Of all the candidates on this list, he is probably the most in-form option right now, but filling in on the international stage will be another challenge. And he also provides a long-throw option.
ANDY KING
BY far the most experienced option in this list, the 31-year old has a half-century of caps under his belt already, and was a part of his country’s last Euro adventure back in 2016.
It’s been a bumpy season for King, who played just 69 minutes on loan at Rangers before joining Championship strugglers Huddersfield, where he has so far started just two games.
The player himself still hasn’t quite got back up to speed, having seen a loan spell at Derby last season plagued by injury, which may well be part of the reason why he’s not played for his country for nearly two years.
King himself has made little secret of his desire to be included this summer, but he will likely need to produce something very special between now and the end of the season if he is to muscle his way in.
MATT SMITH
ANOTHER one who’s been in and around the set-up under Giggs in the past, the Manchester City loanee fell out of favour towards the end of the qualifying campaign.
He has since found game time hard to come by, for both club and country.
The 20-year old started the season on loan at Queens Park Rangers, but was recalled after making just two starts under Mark Warburton and joined Charlton back in January.
He’s yet to start a single game for the Addicks and hasn’t played a minute of international football since the 1-0 defeat in Hungary back in November.
Even in Allen’s absence, his hopes of getting a place on the plane appear to be in the balance.
JONNY WILLIAMS
ANOTHER member of the class of 2016, Williams is seemingly still part of the Wales conversation despite his various injury struggles, although he did miss out on Wales’ last two qualifiers with a knee problem.
But, when it comes to filling in for Allen, there are perhaps a few tactical concerns.
Giggs has shown a preference to having two holding midfielders in his starting XIs with Allen often partnering either Ampadu or Morrell.
Williams is usually better suited to a more advanced role, meaning that should Giggs view him as an Allen replacement, he may well have to alter his system slightly.
The midfielder is likely to be a strong contender for Giggs’ final squad, but chances are, it won’t be to fill in for Allen.
DYLAN LEVITT
THE wildcard of this list. The 19-year old is highly rated at Old Trafford and has been heavily-tipped for a big future.
However, he is yet to win his first senior international cap and has so far played just one first-team game for United, a Europa League clash with FC Astana.
Picking him this summer would subsequently be something of a step into the unknown for Giggs.
