A comment made by Granit Xhaka about Albian Hajdari and Leon Avdullahu created an awkward moment for many Albanians on Tuesday evening, after the Switzerland captain was booed by spectators at the “Fadil Vokrri” stadium.
Following the Kosovo–Switzerland match, Xhaka was seen speaking with Hajdari. Shortly after, the Kosovo defender posted a photo on Instagram alongside Xhaka and Avdullahu, accompanied by the caption “we are one” and a heart emoji. The photo was also shared by Avdullahu.
Both players, Hajdari and Avdullahu, had been released by Kosovo’s head coach Franco Foda for Tuesday’s game in order to avoid the risk of yellow cards and remain available for the World Cup playoff semifinal in March.
