Switzerland striker Breel Embolo is left out of the squad for upcoming UEFA Nations League matches after being sanctioned for using forged COVID-19 test certificates during the pandemic. The decision follows a similar situation involving teammate Granit Xhaka, who also exits the squad under the same kind of sanction.
Both reports state that the exclusion is linked to administrative action taken after the COVID-era documents were found to be falsified. The outlets do not dispute the broad timeline of the conduct during the pandemic or the fact of the sanction, but they focus on the squad outcome for the Nations League.
While the coverage is consistent on Embolo’s omission and the reason—fake test certificates—there are limited additional details provided about the exact disciplinary process, the duration of the sanction, or whether Switzerland has communicated any further sporting or legal implications beyond the squad selection decision.
