Swiss chances were dealt a blow this evening with the withdrawal of defender Ludovic Magnin from Saturday's Group 10 qualifier. The Werder Bremen player tore a leg muscle in training. Magnin had to been called back into the Swiss squad, having missed the 4-1 loss to Russia with injury.
Playmaker Hakan Yakin is set to try to run tomorrow and test his foot injury, which is possibly ruling him out at present.
Switzerland squad: Borer, Zuberbühler, Stiel, Meyer, Müller, Yakin, Berner, Zwyssig, Henchoz, Spycher, Haas, Celestini, Vogel, Wicky, Huggel, Streller, Yakin, Chapuisat, Frei, Rama.
