'Get the jab and be safe' - Mourinho urges Xhaka to get vaccinated after positive Covid case

The Switzerland international missed his nation's friendly with Greece earlier this week after he was revealed to have the coronavirus

Jose Mourinho has told Granit Xhaka to seek out a Covid-19 jab after the Arsenal midfielder tested positive for coronavirus amid the disclosure that he is not vaccinated.

The Switzerland international missed his nation's friendly with Greece earlier this week and is expected to sit out their Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers across the rest of the international break as well.

Now, Mourinho - who pursued the Gunners star's signature with Roma across a busy summer transfer window - has urged the 28-year-old to reconsider his stance on not taking the vaccine.
