The 34-year-old midfielder had been restored to Murat Yakin's squad after missing the October clashes with Scotland, Slovenia and North Macedonia after admitting to obtaining a forged COVID-19 vaccination certificate in 2022.
However, the Swiss team said that Xhaka, who has played 152 times for his country, had been injured and would not feature in the upcoming games against Slovenia in Maribor on Friday and at home to Scotland in St. Gallen on Monday.
"Granit Xhaka has to withdraw from the Swiss national team camp due to a calf injury," a team statement said.
