“Shaq will not be before the end of the international break game will be back,” says Pepijn Lijnders. The assistant coach from Liverpool makes no great hopes, when it comes to the use of Xherdan Shaqiri for the Swiss national team. Apparently, the calf injury he sustained in Liverpool to be worse than previously thought. For the games against Georgia (15.11.) and in Gibraltar (18.11.) is Shaqiri are hardly available.
After Vladimir Petkovic and Shaqiri had recently pronounced, was a return to the national team as. Shaqiri was waived in September at the games in Ireland and Denmark, in order to concentrate on his Club. Medially, it was assumed that the 28-Year-old feel not valued. Also coach Petkovic admitted at the time that the relationship with his players could be better.
But it’s not just Shaqiri will not stand Petkovic expected to be available, also Breel Embolo is for the games against Georgia and Gibraltar, at least, questionable. “Embolo will be due to a muscle fiber tear, probably until after the international break,” said Moenchengladbach Coach Marco Rose on Tuesday. Embolo the injury on Sunday in the Bundesliga game against Eintracht Frankfurt (4:2).
in addition to Embolo and Shaqiri could be missing with Admir Mehmedi for more offensive power. The wolf Burger also suffers from a muscle fiber tear. He suffered the injury in a 2:0 victory of Switzerland against Ireland.
