While moving along with Nati – Shaqiri tested positive for Corona – Sport

Bitter news for Xherdan Shaqiri: The soon-to-be 29-year-old tested positive for the corona virus, as the Swiss Football Association announced on Tuesday. Shaqiri would have been on the squad for Nati’s upcoming games for the first time since June 2019, but now he has to be isolated. “For him, the internationals, of course, were over,” Nati’s doctor, Martin Maleck, said Tuesday.

The Liverpool legionnaire moved to the national team camp on Monday. It is not yet clear how things will go with the friendly against Croatia on Wednesday in St. Gallen.

Uefa requirements are met

The association emphasizes that the strict protection measures and UEFA guidelines applicable to national teams have been strictly adhered to from the start of the play. Clarifications are now being made with local health authorities on how to proceed.

It was previously announced that Shaqiri would now stay with Liverpool. He explained this fact, which has become clear since the end of the international transfer window on Monday night, as part of the Nati camp.
