Unavailable against Colombia
Aebischer (undisclosed) is out for Tuesday's World Cup Round of 16 match against Colombia.
Analysis: Aebischer was unable to recover in time after missing training sessions in the lead-up to the knockout clash. The midfielder had already been considered doubtful after sitting out training on consecutive days, and Switzerland will now be without a useful depth option in the middle of the park. While he has played a limited role recently, appearing for just 19 combined minutes across the last two matches, his absence reduces the squad's flexibility off the bench. His status beyond Tuesday's contest remains uncertain pending further updates on the injury.
Unlikely for Tuesday
Aebischer (undisclosed) was not in training Monday ahead of Tuesday's match against Colombia and is expected to miss the contest, according to Lucas Werder of Blick.
Analysis: Aebischer was dropped from training yesterday after suffering an undisclosed injury and is now likely to miss out on the round of 16 after he continued not to train on Monday. This will result in the loss of a useful midfield option from the bench, although he only appeared for 19 minutes combined in their past two games. If Switzerland were too advanced, he would hope to be an option for the quarterfinals, but that remains up in the air with little known about his injury.
