Totally agree about the stupidity of the suspension rules. It just robs teams of players. Genuinely tough for a defensive midfielder not to pick up two yellows in 4 games.
But it looks like Denis Zakaria will be his replacement. Doubtful he could replicate Xhaka's level of performance against France, but many rate Zakaria higher than Xhaka. It could be a blessing in disguise for the Swiss.
