Switzerland arrive at Los Angeles Stadium tonight needing a major reaction following their deeply frustrating tournament opener.
Murat Yakin watched his squad completely dominate possession against the Asian Champions Qatar before suffering a painful late equaliser. The Schweizer Nati created numerous clear opportunities and registered 26 shots without finding a winner.
That wasteful performance kept the underdogs alive and eventually cost them two valuable points. Yakin now demands a far more clinical attacking display from his frontline. Securing maximum points against Bosnia-Herzegovina remains absolutely vital before facing co-hosts Canada.
A completely healthy roster gives Yakin total tactical freedom ahead of this vital fixture. The Swiss coach can field his strongest available lineup without any forced alterations. Gregor Kobel will likely retain his spot between the posts following a relatively quiet opening game.
Ahead of the goalkeeper, Manuel Akanji could partner Nico Elvedi to anchor a steady defence. Experienced full-backs Ricardo Rodríguez and Denis Zakaria look set to guard the defensive flanks.
