Sunderland and Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka has received a suspended fine of 150,000 Swiss francs for obtaining a forged Covid-19 vaccination certificate.

Xhaka accepted the ruling and said he takes full responsibility for his actions, having previously acknowledged his doubts about the vaccine.
