Granit Xhaka and Breel Embolo will both be allowed to play for Switzerland again next month following an investigation into forged Covid-19 vaccination certificates obtained by the pair.

Switzerland captain Xhaka missed Nations League matches against Scotland, North Macedonia and Slovenia during the October international break after admitting to acquiring a fake certificate which allowed him to travel and compete in 2022.
