Sunderland midfielder Granit Xhaka has withdrawn from the Switzerland national team squad due to injury, the Swiss Football Association confirmed on Monday.
The 34-year-old was named in the squad for upcoming international fixtures but has been ruled out after sustaining an injury during club duty with Sunderland. The nature and severity of the injury have not been disclosed.
Xhaka, who has earned over 120 caps for Switzerland, joined Sunderland in the summer of 2024 after a successful spell at Bayer Leverkusen. His absence is a blow to the Swiss side as they prepare for their next competitive matches.
The Swiss federation has not yet announced a replacement for the experienced midfielder.
