Shaqiri: I can handle trip to Red Star Belgrade
Liverpool attacker Xherdan Shaqiri insisted he could handle a trip to Serbia for his team's Champions League return clash against Red Star Belgrade.
The Switzerland international was fined during the World Cup after he celebrated a goal against Serbia by making an eagle gesture , a symbol similar to the one on the Albanian flag.
Granit Xhaka and Stephan Lichtsteiner also picked up fine over the celebration and, though Fifa FIFA had opened disciplinary proceedings against the Swiss players in the immediate aftermath, they avoided suspension during the tournament in Russia.
