Breel Embolo must always be patient. According to information released by Blickthe Swiss team striker was unable to fly to Los Angeles this Thursday because he still has not obtained the necessary authorization to enter American territory.
Given the timing, there is a good chance that Breel Embolo will not be able to participate in the last preparation match for the Nati World Cup. This takes place on Saturday June 6 (at 9 p.m. in Switzerland) in San Diego, where Murat Yakin’s men have their base camp, against Australia.
As a reminder, Breel Embolo had a valid ESTA on Tuesday morning, a few hours before the team flew from Switzerland to the United States. However, 2.5 hours before departure, the authorities decided to re-evaluate his case due to his criminal past and a conviction for threats made in 2018.
The file is currently in the hands of the American authorities. Breel Embolo went to the United States Embassy in Bern on Wednesday to apply for a visa. The Swiss Football Association ensures that it receives priority treatment.
