Sunderland captain Granit Xhaka has said he obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccine certificate during the pandemic of 2020.
The former Arsenal player said he made the decision because he distrusted the vaccine.
In a social media statement, Xhaka expressed readiness to cooperate with authorities about his actions.
He said, “In recent days, a lot has been reported about an issue from my past. I would like to address it personally.
“At the time, in connection with the COVID-19 vaccination, I was personally very uncertain and had serious concerns. I had deep distrust of the vaccine and was affected by fear and uncertainty.
“In this emotionally charged situation, I obtained a vaccination certificate instead of having my unanswered questions clarified through the proper channels.
“Today, I clearly see that this was not the right course of action. It was a mistake. I am sorry.
“I take responsibility for this decision, will face the process of clarifying the facts, and will cooperate fully with the relevant authorities.”
