Impolo excluded for forging coronavirus certificates

Striker Breel Embolo has been omitted from the Swiss national team’s squad for upcoming matches in the second tier of the UEFA Nations League, following his submission of falsified COVID-19 test certificates during the pandemic. The Swiss Football Association announced the day before yesterday that it would not call up the Atlanta United forward, who plays in Major League Soccer (MLS), without specifying the reasons. However, Swiss media are certain that the decision is linked to his November 2025 conviction and fine for claiming to have undergone COVID-19 testing using forged certificates.
