Xhaka Admits to Using Fake Vaccination Certificate and Misses Switzerland Matches
Granit Xhaka, captain of the Swiss national team, has admitted to obtaining a fake coronavirus vaccination certificate several years ago due to fear and mistrust of vaccines. The 33-year-old midfielder apologized on Instagram, acknowledging the mistake and stating he is cooperating fully with authorities. Consequently, he will miss four upcoming Nations League matches against North Macedonia, Scotland, and Slovenia. The Public Prosecution Office in Luzern has opened an investigation into Xhaka, who holds the record for most caps for Switzerland with 152 appearances. His former doctor is also under investigation for allegedly providing false certificates. Xhaka, currently playing for Sunderland, expressed regret for not addressing his concerns through proper channels.
