    Ryan Giggs has maybe never had more selection dilemmas than he has had for this game.

  7. Good afternoon!published at 13:34 British Summer Time 6 September 2020

    Wales v Bulgaria (14:00 BST)

    Well hello there, back so soon?

    You waited 10-months to experience Wales playing football and now you get to do it for the second time in four days.

    Ryan Giggs' side are off to a good start in the Nations League after their 1-0 win in Helsinki and are strong favourites to add another victory this afternoon.

    Wales are seven unbeaten, have won three-on-the-spin and even with key players missing, have an abundance of talent, especially in attack.

    The stage is set nicely, the only thing missing is you guys, the fans.

    So let's settle in on our sofas and not be there together, shall we? #TogetherStronger
