🗞️ Team News: FC Zürich

Availability isn’t a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the FC Zürich gaffer Bo Henriksen to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Ivan Santini (Medial Collateral Ligament Injury) misses out. Cheick Conde will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

It looks as if Der Stadtclub look set to line up in a 3-1-4-2 formation for this one featuring Yanick Brecher, Lindrit Kamberi, Nikola Katic, Fidan Aliti, Blerim Dzemaili, Nikola Boranijasevic, Ifeanyi Mathew, Bledian Krasniqi, Adriàn Guerrero, Fabian Rohner and Antonio Marchesano.
