Switzerland coach Murat Yakin faces a difficult task without Fabian Schar (retired), Nico Elvedi and Manuel Akanji (absent with adductor muscle injuries). It is the first time in eight years that all three players have not started, leaving the team with just two centre-backs: Aurele Amenda and Albian Hajdari, who have never played for the national team. Midfielder Eray Comert may have to drop back into defence, while Denis Zakaria and Dan Ndoye are also out.

How Serbia vs Switzerland turned nasty

Granit Xhaka will wear the armband in midfield. For Serbia, captain Aleksandar Mitrovic, the top scorer with 59 goals in 96 appearances, has been in fine form for Al-Hilal.

Milinkovic-Savic's Torino team-mate Ivan Ilic is also absent with a knee injury. However, coach Dragan Stojkovic will welcome back striker Dusan Vlahovic, who was absent in October.

Latest football commentary Switzerland vs Serbia

Switzerland failed to win for the first time since Euro 2024 as they blew a two-goal lead at home to Denmark, ending their hopes of reaching the UEFA Nations League quarter-finals and extending their winless run. Under Murat Yakin, the hosts took the lead twice through Remo Freuler and Zeki Amdouni, but could only manage one point, their only in Group 4. They had previously lost to Denmark, Spain and Serbia in October, and are now in danger of relegation to League B.

Switzerland Beats Serbia in a Game Tinged With History and Politics - The New York Times

Switzerland need a win in their final game to avoid relegation. A win would see them reach the play-offs if they finish third. However, they face Spain – the reigning Euro and Nations League champions – in their final game in Tenerife next Monday. Yakin, despite his controversy after the Euros, has regained his reputation and will try to lead Switzerland to the 2026 World Cup.

Serbia, despite failing to make it out of the Euro 2024 group stage, have had a more positive Nations League campaign. Under Dragan Stojkovic, Serbia drew with Spain, lost to Denmark and beat Switzerland thanks to an Aleksandar Mitrovic goal. They still have a chance of reaching the knockout stages, but a loss and Denmark not losing, or a draw and Denmark beating Spain, will see Serbia go no further.

Despite Serbia's poor away form, their attack will cause problems for Switzerland's struggling defence. A draw would see the home side relegated.
