Former Arsenal captain Granit Xhaka has taken aim at his boo-boys, warning he will not let others determine his happiness.
The 27-year-old was stripped of the captaincy earlier this month after telling supporters to "f*** off" as his substitution was cheered in a 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace. The cheers turned to jeers as Xhaka removed his shirt and cupped his ears, prompting a bitter response from fans inside the stadium.
Xhaka played his first minutes since the incident on Friday, starting in Switzerland's 1-0 win over Georgia.
In a cryptic post written in German on Instagram, Xhaka said after the match: "Happiness is when you are satisfied with yourself and do not need the confirmation of others."
Arsenal boss Unai Emery has previously admitted Xhaka may have played his last game for Arsenal, and revealed the club have discussed the possibility of selling the midfielder in January.
