Granit Xhaka, Swizterland’s captain and man of the match against France, is suspended for the quarter-finals due to an accumulation of cards. His absence is a major blow to the team and he is likely to be replaced by Denis Zakaria. Xherdan Shaqiri is the star playmaker for the side and his movements could trouble the Spanish backline. Haris Seferovic and Breel Embolo have stuck a wonderful partnership at the Euros and the duo is heavily involved in the attacking third despite little support from midfield.
Spanish manager Luis Enrique could deploy David De Gea as the no 1 after Unai Simon’s howler against Croatia. Pau Torres will be challenging Eric Garcia for a place in starting eleven but it is the latter who could get the nod again. Alvaro Morata scored a wonder goal in the previous match which should give him a lot of confidence.
