The opponents, apart from the very strong Spain, were undoubtedly manageable, but the single point collected with Denmark shows that the situation is without a shadow of a doubt very problematic. In addition to this, to complete the picture, the Red Cross complain about some important absences due to injury, namely those of Manuel Akanji, Denis Zakaria, Dan Ndoye, Michael Aebischer, Ruben Vargas, Pascal Loretz and that of the suspended Nico Elvedi. So at the last moment Yakin had to summon Ulisses Garcia and David Von Ballmoos. In this context, the absence of Renato Steffen was surprising, considering his excellent current form, and at this point it seems that the Lugano player should put his heart at rest. The Swiss coach will have to redesign the defense for his part. But will we see a three or four defensive rearguard? Let us be surprised. Borussia Dortmund goalkeeper Gregor Kobel will certainly be deployed in goal, then we’ll find out the rest before the match. A Switzerland that will not only have to think about saving itself in this competition, but also collecting points to be well positioned in the qualifying draw for the 2026 World Cup. These are two hot matches, but the Swiss fans are hoping for a speedy redemption. The answer will come as always from the playing field.
