The Albania captain says he was desperate to unite the new Arsenal signing with his brother in the national team, but instead they will line up on opposing sides on Saturday
Lorik Cana admits he was desperate to have Granit Xhaka choose to play for Albania, instead of Switzerland.
The new Arsenal signing can make history on Saturday should he and Basel's Taulant Xhaka become the first brothers to face each other at the European Championships.
Switzerland boast a number of players, including Xherdan Shaqiri, who could have lined up for Albania against the Swiss in their Group A opener in Lens, given their dual nationalities, while several members of Albania's squad were born in Switzerland.
