Granit Xhaka is set to captain Switzerland at the World Cup in Qatar after he was included in their 26-man squad for the tournament.
As expected, the national team skipper has been selected for his third World Cup, and joins his clubmates Takehiro Tomiyasu, Gabriel Jesus and Gabriel Martinelli heading out to the Middle East for world football’s global showpiece.
In fact, it could mean that we get to see three of our players in the same match, with the Swiss drawn in the same group as Brazil, as well as Cameroon and Serbia.
After a friendly against Ghana - which could feature Thomas Partey - on Thursday, November 17, Granit could make his ninth appearance at a World Cup against Cameroon a week later, before the match against Jesus and Martinelli four days later.
