Although he has not played a single game in 108 days, Yakin trusts the starting place to Shaqiri

The selector of Switzerland, Murat Yakin, has said that Xherdan Shaqiri will play from the first minute, since when he is fit, it is not discussed.

Blick writes that there would have been reasons if Yakin had left Shaqiri on the bench, as he ended the MLS season with the Chicago Fire on October 9. It means that Shaqa has not played a match for 108 days.

The friendly against Ghana was not the best for Shaqiri, where according to Blick he was not noticed on the field, while he was justified after the match that it was hot.


"If Shaqiri is fit, he is indisputable. Then he has these great moments in the game, even if you don't always see it. He plays against Cameroon", said Yakin.

Even the former player of Switzerland, Blerim Xhemaili, thinks that Yakin's decision is right.

Xhemaili, who works as an expert for RSI in the World Cup, said: "I assume that we will have much more possession of the ball and will often be in the opposing half of the field. "Shaq must create decisive moments."

Yakin, on the other hand, has also confirmed that Yann Sommer will be the starter. /Telegraph/
