Granite Xhaka learned his verdict after it was clarified about his fake COVID-19 vaccination certificate when the pandemic was in full swing.

It has been reported that the Sunderland captain is facing a suspended two-year ban.

This means that after one more violation, the Swiss player will not be able to play football for two years.

A financial penalty of £136,265 has also been imposed.

At that time, Granit Xhaka represented the London club Arsenal.
