Giggs skips training

Manchester United midfielder Ryan Giggs was a notable absentee for training at the club's Carrington complex on Tuesday morning after finding himself at the centre of a media storm.

Father-of-two Giggs, 37, was named on Monday as the married footballer involved in a controversial privacy case.

Liberal Democrat MP John Hemming used parliamentary privilege to name him as the Premier League player who took out an injunction over his relationship with 28-year-old reality TV star Imogen Thomas.

Giggs was not thought to have an injury but was not present for an open training session ahead of the club's Champions League final on Saturday against Barcelona at Wembley.
