Ryan Giggs will not be involved in Wales' upcoming international camp after being arrested on suspicion of assault.
The 46-year-old manager was arrested and later bailed over an alleged row with Kate Greville at his home, The Sun newspaper reported.
Wales play the United States in a friendly on November 12 before Nations League games against the Republic of Ireland and Finland.
"The Football Association of Wales and Ryan Giggs have mutually agreed that he will not be involved in the upcoming international camp," said an FAW statement.
"Our agreed immediate priority is preparing the team for the upcoming international matches.
"Robert Page, with Ryan's support, will take charge for the next three matches against the USA, Republic of Ireland and Finland supported by Albert Stuivenberg."
Wales were due to announce their squad on Tuesday morning for the three games.
But those plans were shelved on Monday night as news broke of Giggs' arrest.
"The Cymru squad for these upcoming matches will be announced on Thursday 5th November," the FAW said. "The FAW will not be making any further comment at this current time."
Two police cars were parked outside Giggs' house in Worsley, Greater Manchester, on Sunday evening following reports of a disturbance involving 36-year-old PR worker Ms Greville.
Police added the arrested man was later released on bail pending further inquiries, the newspaper report said.
A statement released on behalf of Giggs on Tuesday morning said: "Mr Giggs denies all allegations of assault made against him.
"He is co-operating with the police and will continue to assist them with their ongoing investigations."
In a statement provided to The Sun, Greater Manchester Police said: "Police were called at 10.05pm on Sunday to reports of a disturbance. A woman in her 30s sustained minor injuries but did not require any treatment.
"A 46-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of section 47 assault and section 39 common assault."

Should late investors consider cryptocurrencies?
Wealth managers recommend late investors to have a balanced portfolio that typically includes traditional assets such as cash, government and corporate bonds, equities, commodities and commercial property.
They do not usually recommend investing in Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies due to the risk and volatility associated with them.
“It has produced eye-watering returns for some, whereas others have lost substantially as this has all depended purely on timing and when the buy-in was. If someone still has about 20 to 25 years until retirement, there isn’t any need to take such risks,” Rupert Connor of Abacus Financial Consultant says.
He adds that if a person is interested in owning a business or growing a property portfolio to increase their retirement income, this can be encouraged provided they keep in mind the overall risk profile of these assets.
