Liverpool's Xherdan Shaqiri has been ruled out of Switzerland's first two Euro 2020 qualifiers with a groin injury.
The Swiss football federation explained on Monday that they had discovered an inflammation in his groin during tests at a hospital.
Shaqiri left the team training camp while his team-mates continued to prepare for qualifiers in Georgia on Saturday and at home against Denmark three days later.
Swiss playmaker Shaqiri was an unused substitute on Sunday in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Fulham. The win took Liverpool back to the top of the Premier League.
Shaqiri has scored six goals in 11 League starts and 10 substitute appearances for Liverpool this season, but he has not featured since an 18-minute cameo in last month's 0-0 draw at Manchester United.
Switzerland are currently ranked eighth in the world and will feature at this summer's UEFA Nations League finals.

I think they should just put up an article on who's not withdrawn from international duty. At this rate, we'll have the full first team home for the weekend. Not that I'm complaining, of course
