Swiss Coach Murat Yakin Makes Tactical Change in Starting XI for Kosovo Faceoff

2023-09-09 18:23:24

Murat Yakin made only one change in his starting XI to face Kosovo at 8:45 p.m. Fabian Schär takes the place of Nico Elvedi in central defense.

The coach of the Swiss team judged that the start of Nico Elvedi, lacking playing time at the start of the season, was too risky for this meeting which promises to be, in unanimous opinion, “complicated”. Due to his contractual situation with Mönchengladbach, the Zurich native only played a handful of minutes in the first three Bundesliga matches.

Edimilson Fernandes will occupy the right flank of the defense. Also without much playing time in his legs, Remo Freuler will form the middle trio alongside Granit Xhaka and Denis Zakaria, who is honoring his 50th selection this evening in Pristina. In attack, Murat Yakin brought back Xherdan Shaqiri, Zeki Amdouni and Ruben Vargas.

Switzerland will play this evening in Pristina in the following composition: Sommer; Fernandes, Schär, Akanji, Rodriguez; Freuler, Zakaria, Xhaka; Shaqiri, Amdouni, Vargas.
