And he impressed in the Middle East as the Swiss beat Cameroon and Serbia on their way to the last-16.

But they were then thoroughly outgunned by Portugal as they were thumped in a 6-1 hammering.

Their tournament departure on December 6 has left Xhaka with the best part of three weeks to recuperate before he resumes his campaign with Arsenal.

Arteta’s side’s first game back comes against West Ham on Boxing Day.

Before that they also have friendlies with Milan in the UAE and Juventus back at the Emirates.

But Xhaka is taking some much-needed time away from the pitch and has now posted images on social media showing him enjoying a holiday with his family.

He was joined on the yacht by his wife, Leonita Lekaj, who he married back in 2017.

And he was also accompanied on the getaway by daughters Ayana, 3, and Laneya, 1.
