Hard blow for the Nati, who must do without Johan Manzambi. Hit in the calf, the midfielder must forfeit the Swiss team’s next two international matches, against Slovenia on Friday and Scotland on Monday, the Swiss Football Association (ASF) announced on Thursday.
The player joined the rally on Monday despite calf pain. “Despite intensive medical care and additional examinations, his condition has not improved sufficiently to allow him to compete in the two matches,” explains the ASF.

No replacement
Johan Manzambi therefore leaves the selection on Thursday to return to Aston Villa, in agreement with his club. The ASF specifies that no other player will be recalled as reinforcement to replace him. The Swiss squad is therefore now reduced to 26 players.
