National team coach Murat Yakin has called up midfielder Christian Witzig for the next two Nations League games for the first time.
The 23-year-old Witzig earned his selection with strong performances for St. Gallen. He scored two goals and provided three assists in the first eight championship games of the season. He also scored in the Swiss Cup.
Compared to the two defeats in September against Denmark (0:2) and European champions Spain (1:4), goalkeeper Philipp Köhn (Monaco), Ulisses Garcia (Marseille), Cédric Zesiger (Wolfsburg), Edimilson Fernandes (Stade Brest), Dan Ndoye (Bologna) and Andi Zeqiri (Standard Liège) are included this time.
Ruben Vargas will not be available due to injury. The attacking player from Bundesliga club Augsburg suffered an ankle ligament injury in training. AC Milan's Noah Okafor was once again left out of the squad, but is on the standby list.
The Swiss will face Serbia in Leskovac on October 12. Three days later, they will welcome Denmark for a rematch in St. Gallen.
