Granit Xhaka played all 90 minutes of Switzerland's final warm-up match before the World Cup, but they were defeated 2-0 by Ghana in Abu Dhabi.
Our midfielder led his side out at the ZSC Stadium but didn't end up facing his Gunners teammate Thomas Partey, who remained on the bench for the Black Stars throughout.
Thomas saw his team run out victors thanks to goals from Southampton defender Mohammed Salisu and Bristol City striker Antoine Semenyo, which came within four minutes of each other midway through the second half as the Swiss began to tire in the 30-degree heat.
