In addition to the heavy defeat which upset the Chicago Fire (0-4), a fear to accompany it on this side of the Atlantic. With the premature exit of Xherdan Shaqiri, in the 28th minute, the fear of a serious injury 50 days before the Euro. It is not so. According to our information, the star of the selection suffered a shock, but nothing serious has been reported: more fear than harm.
This week, the doctors from the Swiss team were immediately in contact with their counterparts in Chicago. Shaqiri is said to be suffering from a sort of “tomato”, a muscle contusion due to the shock and if there is still any pain, he will play again soon. Next weekend. Or the one after that at the latest.
According to our sources, Murat Yakin himself contacted Shaqiri to check on his player’s health directly. The coach will have been reassured by the exchange. Good news ahead of this summer’s Euros, with Shaqiri still capable of changing a match with a flick of his leg.
He demonstrated it last month in Dublin in a friendly, with the free kick in the 1-0 victory against Eire, even if his contribution beyond this set ball was much less stellar.
