Arsenal had 10 players head off to Qatar for the World Cup with some now returning as the tournament enters the knockout stages. Granit Xhaka enjoyed a strong first half of the season with the Gunners and will feature for Switzerland against Portugal after they qualified from their group for the round of 16.
The Swiss qualified from Group G as runners-up, behind Brazil, after beating both Cameroon and Serbia in the group stages. The Arsenal midfielder put in a man-of-the-match display in Switzerland's final group match as they claimed a 3-2 victory to set up a clash against Portugal.
After the match though, Xhaka was spotted wearing a shirt with the name "Jashari" on the back which has been the subject of some controversy. Jashari is the surname of Xhaka's fellow Swiss squad member Ardon Jashari, but it is also that of Adem Jashari, founder of the Kosovo Liberation Army and a symbol of Kosovar independence.
