Swiss football captain Granit Xhaka is sidelined from a UEFA Nations League training camp after admitting that he used a fake COVID-19 certificate, according to multiple reports. The decision affects his participation in the Swiss Football Association’s scheduled activities tied to the tournament.
The Swiss Football Association and related officials reportedly agree that Xhaka will miss the training camp following his public acknowledgment. Both outlets frame the matter as an internal disciplinary response tied to his admission, rather than describing any immediate competition ban. The reports indicate that the timing of his absence is linked to the UEFA Nations League training period rather than a final determination on longer-term sporting consequences.
