Wales will check on Aaron Ramsey's fitness when the Juventus midfielder joins up with Ryan Giggs' squad ahead of the Euro 2020 qualifier against Slovakia.

Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri said substitute Ramsey was withdrawn from warming up during half-time of Sunday's 2-1 Serie A win at Inter Milan.

Sarri said Ramsey felt "a twinge" and was not risked in the second half - and Wales will check on the 28-year-old when he arrives in camp on Monday afternoon.
