Granit Xhaka will return to London today after two weeks of isolation in Switzerland after being infected with Covid-19.
Xhaka became infected with the coronavirus on the day when his Swiss national team faced Greece in a friendly match before the World Cup qualifiers.
As a result, the midfielder from Kosovo was absent in the matches of Switzerland and in Arsenal's first victory in the Premier League against Norwich City on Saturday.
His infection with Covid-19 revealed that he had refused to receive the vaccine for protection against the virus, prompting great criticism from all sides.
Xhaka was the only player completely unprotected in terms of health on the Swiss team, according to Adrian Arnold, media chief at the Swiss Football Association, as while others had been vaccinated, he had not wanted to get the virus vaccine.
"Granit Xhaka has not been vaccinated. He is the unvaccinated player. We have left (the decision to vaccinate) in the hands of each player, it is a personal choice for each player, as it is for every other person in Switzerland. We have made a recommendation that everyone be vaccinated. He decided for himself (against vaccination). "It's his right not to be vaccinated," Arnold said.
