They will play the Three Lions on Saturday, but they will be missing one of their main players. based on how the 21-year-old’s tests turn out.

The former captain of Arsenal has started each of his team’s games in the tournament thus far, carrying over his strong play from his incredible club season with Bayer Leverkusen.

Blick, however, claims that he was scheduled for an MRI because of some adductor issues; yet, according to The Sun, the tests’ findings will determine whether or not he is eligible to play against England.

Xhaka was seen receiving treatment in the first half of his side’s 2-0 win over Italy in the last 16, though continued on to finish the game, seemingly without any further issues.

But it seemed like he was experiencing agony from the game’s aftermath, which is why he was doing testing.

Throughout Switzerland’s tenure in Germany, manager Murat Yakin has utilised a back three system; Xhaka was previously utilised by Xabi Alonso at Bayer Leverkusen with this same system.

As Leverkusen won the Bundesliga and did not lose all season until losing to Atalanta in the Europa League final, the midfield player made 50 matches.

He has been playing with Remo Freuler of Nottingham Forest for Switzerland, but if the test results were negаtive, his team would have to find a way to replace him.

Prior to their match on Saturday, England also faced ιnjury concerns when Kieran Trippier had to leave the match early due to a knock he had received during the victory over Slovakia.

Gareth Southgate may be struggling to find a solution for Luke Shaw, even if he is fully trained with the team and has not yet played a minute.
