Granit Xhaka has to cut back a little. The Swiss national team captain trained individually on Tuesday due to adductor problems.

Xhaka had previously undergone an MRI examination. This revealed that the 31-year-old midfielder had not suffered any injury. The Swiss media spokesman said that the very long season was also leaving its mark on Xhaka. However, his participation in next Saturday's quarter-final against England (18:00 in Düsseldorf) is not in jeopardy.

In the match against Italy (2:0) last Saturday, Xhaka fell to the ground after a good quarter of an hour, without any action on his opponent's part. After receiving medical treatment, however, he was able to continue playing and played the entire match. After a recovery training session on Sunday, the Swiss national team players enjoyed a day off on Monday.
