Wales boss Giggs says Man Utd winger James good to play

Wales boss Ryan Giggs says Daniel James was fine to play on after a heavy collision in Sunday's 1-1 Euro 2020 qualifying draw with Croatia and "passed all the concussion tests".

James needed treatment after an aerial challenge with Domagoj Vida, though the winger says he was not knocked out.

"I say about players being smart... he stayed down, he was fine," said Giggs.

Giggs said after the match he was satisfied with the treatment of 21-year-old Manchester United forward James.

"When the physios came over there was no problem, and what you have to do now is do the tests at half-time. He passed all the concussion tests," said the Wales manager.
