Tomas Rosicky claims that Manchester United's Ryan Giggs will be the most threatening player in the Wales squad before the Welsh legend retires from international football.

Giggs has stated that he will play his last international game with Wales against Czech Republic on Saturday at Cardiff's Millenium Stadium in a Euro 2008 qualifier.

Rosicky has been injured since April 21 and poised to make his first competitive appearance and has been doing rehabilitation on his hamstring injury.

He has also been receiving personal training sessions with his national team's coach and also had his wisdom teeth removed recently.

Rosicky said: "I have not played for a long time, so we will have to see how I go. But I am pleased to be involved in Giggs' last game.

"Giggs is a very clever player, he produces the perfect passes. I love to watch him, and that was before I joined Arsenal. Now it is a pleasure to see him play.

"And with this being his last international, we must be aware that he will be at his most dangerous at this point. He will want to go out with a win and we must be prepared for that level of performance from him.

"His colleagues will want to help him to go out in style with a win. But I recall what happened when Pavel Nedved retired from our team, we lost his final game."

Czech coach Karel Bruckner added his praise for Giggs, saying: "People will say I would be happier if he had retired last week. But we are pleased to be here in Cardiff to witness his last match, he is a great player and one I admire."
