Team News: Serbia bring in Filip Kostic for Switzerland clash

Serbia start Kostic against Switzerland

Serbia have drafted in Filip Kostic to start against Switzerland in Friday's Group E clash.

Kostic is the only change to Mladen Krstajic's team from their 1-0 win over Costa Rica last Sunday.

Aleksandar Kolarov, who scored a sublime free kick in his country's opening World Cup fixture, will continue his role as captain of the side.

Switzerland remain unchanged from their opening World Cup game against Brazil, in which they held the South American side to a 1-1 draw in Rostov.

Haris Seferovic plays as a lone striker for Vladimir Petkovic's side, with Xherdan Shaqiri, Blerim Dzemaili and Steven Zuber sat behind the Benfica forward.

Serbia: Stojkovic; Ivanovic, Milenkovic, Tosic, Kolarov; Matic, Milivojevic; Tadic, Milinkovic-Savic, Kostic; Mitrovic

Switzerland: Sommer; Lichtsteiner, Schär, Akanji, Rodríguez; Behrami, Xhaka; Shaqiri, Dzemaili, Zuber; Seferovic
