Comes off bench Saturday
Okafor (calf) came off the bench in Saturday's 1-1 friendly draw against Australia.
Analysis: Okafor missed the friendly against Jordan on May 30, but he entered this game in the 79th minute and received a yellow card. The Leeds United winger, who scored eight goals in 28 EPL appearances with the Elland Road outfit, should see regular playing time for Switzerland in the World Cup.
Misses friendly, likely for opener
Okafor (calf) missed Saturday's friendly against Jordan but is expected to be fit ahead of the World Cup opener, according to the Swiss FA.
Analysis: Okafor is still working on his return and is not being risked yet, as the forward was absent for a friendly as Switzerland prepares for the World Cup. However, his status for the World Cup has been reinforced, as the forward is expected to be fit for the "long run." He is likely to serve as a backup for the national team at forward, earning minutes here and there until a breakout performance ensues
