Liverpool ace Shaqiri pulls out of Switzerland squad through ‘pubic inflammation’
Crocked midfielder, 27, will miss the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Georgia and Denmark this month
XHERDAN SHAQIRI has withdrawn from Switzerland's squad because he's suffering with "pubic inflammation."
The 27-year-old has not started a match for Liverpool since January and has remained on the bench in the last four Premier League games.
And Shaqiri is set to continue his stint on the sidelines during the international break with what appears to be a groin strain.
Switzerland will be without him when they face Georgia in Saturday in their first Euro 2020 qualifier.
He is also set to miss the following home match against Denmark on March 26.
The Swiss national team confirmed the news on Twitter, but did not reveal what had caused the injury.
It read: "The Swiss team must give up the services of Xherdan Shaqiri in Georgia and against Denmark.
"The player suffers from inflammation in the pubic area.
