These absences allowed a revival in the starting eleven. Thus, Geneva’s Zachary Athekame shone on the right lane with two assists in two games. In midfield, Ardon Jashari held his position alongside Remo Freuler, without forgetting Granit Xhaka. Finally, up front, Zeki Amdouni impressed, to the point of wondering if Breel Embolo, who left for MLS this summer, still has a future in this team.

Murat Yakin found a very solid eleven and that is to his credit. However, if one is allowed to be choosy, he twice fielded an almost identical team, offering little playing time to the replacements. At the same time, nations like France, Germany and Italy made numerous changes during their matches.

For example, Winsley Boteli, a real revelation at the start of the season with FC Sion, was only entitled to a handful of minutes against North Macedonia. Ditto for Alvyn Sanches, who nevertheless represents the future of the Nati.

Now that Switzerland has done the hard part with two away victories, the best way to punctuate this rally would be to carry out a larger squad review during the two home matches. Will this be the case this Saturday against Slovenia or will Murat Yakin wait until Tuesday and the arrival of North Macedonia?
