There are hardly any surprises in the Swiss line-up for the away match against Serbia. Returning player Dan Ndoye will play from the start.
He wants to line up "with the best eleven", announced national coach Murat Yakin on Friday evening. It is now clear what that team looks like. As expected, Nico Elvedi, Manuel Akanji and Ricardo Rodriguez will form the back three in front of goalkeeper Gregor Kobel.
One row further forward, Yakin will rely on the "European Championship midfield" of Silvan Widmer, Remo Freuler, Granit Xhaka and Michel Aebischer. And in attack, Zeki Amdouni, Breel Embolo and Dan Ndoye should provide a goal threat.
Ndoye, who was absent from the first two games in the Nations League, returns to the starting line-up. He replaces Ruben Vargas, who was absent through injury, while Fabian Rieder will initially be on the bench.
Switzerland's line-up: Kobel; Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Aebischer; Amdouni, Embolo, Ndoye.
Serbia's line-up: Rajkovic; Erakovic, Milenkovic, Pavlovic; Nedeljkovic, Lukic, Grujic, Maksimovic, Birmancevic; Samardzic, Mitrovic.
