He is also charged with attacking her sister Emma Greville on November 1, 2020.
Jurors failed to reach a verdict following a three-week trial last August with a re-trial scheduled to begin on July 31.
A pre-trial review was held today at Manchester Crown Court.
Giggs was not present at the hearing, which dealt with matters that cannot be reported.
A further hearing is set to take place at the same court on July 18.
Giggs stepped down as manager of the Wales international team in July last year.
The ex-footballer, who won 64 caps for his country, had been on leave from his post since November 2020.
Giggs had a glittering playing career with Manchester United, winning 13 Premier League titles, two Champions League trophies, four FA Cups and three League Cups.
He is also a co-owner of League Two side Salford City.
Giggs denies the charges.
