Switzerland will be without captain Granit Xhaka for their next four Nations League matches after he admitted to using a forged Covid vaccine certificate during the pandemic. The 33-year-old midfielder said on social media that he presented the fake certificate to avoid mandatory vaccination, citing deep mistrust and anxiety about the vaccine. He expressed regret for his actions and said he is cooperating fully with authorities. The Lucerne public prosecutor's office is investigating the matter, and the Swiss Football Association announced that Xhaka will not join the national team in Belek.
