World Cup quarterfinalist Switzerland picks in-form Sion forward Boteli in Nations League squad
Bern, Switzerland (AP) — The Swiss national team recently included 20-year-old Sion forward Winsley Boteli in their Nations League squad. This came after an impressive start to the season that reportedly attracted attention from Champions League teams like Galatasaray and Porto. Boteli has scored a hat trick recently and has now been selected by Switzerland coach Murat Yakin to play in international matches against Scotland, Slovenia, and North Macedonia.
Captain Granit Xhaka returns to the squad after an impressive performance at the World Cup, extending his national record of 152 appearances. Breel Embolo, who was wrongly sent off during Switzerland's quarterfinal loss to Argentina, was also chosen, along with 21-year-old center back Zachary Athekame, who is currently on loan from AC Milan at Lyon.
The team's inclusion of these young talents, who were once part of Switzerland's youth system at Servette, adds depth to their squad as they prepare for their upcoming matches.
