Murat Yakin, head coach of the Swiss national football team, faces a daunting challenge as he prepares for crucial Nations League games against Serbia and Spain. A wave of injuries has sidelined key defensive players, including Manuel Akanji and Denis Zakaria, leaving Yakin with a depleted squad featuring several inexperienced defenders. With only seasoned player Ricardo Rodriguez among them, the pressure is on to secure victories in both matches to avoid relegation from the top tier of the competition. The first match against Serbia is set for November 15, 2024.
