Switzerland winger Xherdan Shaqiri has conceded he could play for Kosovo in the future should the country of his birth decide to make him captain.
The Stoke City man was speaking about Kosovo on Tuesday, with a key clash with Romania looming in the UEFA European Championship on Wednesday. He was asked whether the prospect of playing for Kosovo, recently recognised by FIFA as an independent football nation, would appeal to him.
“What if the coach of Kosovo wants me as the captain?” said Shaqiri, per David Hytner of the Guardian.
