📋 Team News: FC Zürich

It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just one fitness concern for the FC Zürich manager Bo Henriksen to contend with thanks to an otherwise robust set of players. Fabio Daprelà (Torn muscle fiber) misses out.

📰 Team News: BSC Young Boys

BSC Young Boys boss Raphaël Wicky has multiple availability issues to deal with. Kastriot Imeri (Torn lateral knee ligament), Cedric Itten (Knock), Malik Deme (Muscle injury) and Lukasz Lakomy (unknown injury) can’t be considered. Sandro Lauper is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
