Bad news for England as major Switzerland star passed fit after injury scare

Switzerland captain Granit Xhaka will be fit for their quarter-final showdown with England on Saturday after scans showed the midfielder to have no problems after an injury scare. 

Both nations booked their places in the quarter-finals over the weekend with wins over Italy and Slovakia respectively.

The Three Lions struggled against the Slovakians as they needed a very late Jude Bellingham equaliser to save them from elimination, while Switzerland had a much easier time against the Italians as they secured a 2-0 win.
