How Switzerland could line up against France

Sports Mole takes an in-depth look at how Switzerland could line up for their Euro 2020 last-16 clash against France on Monday.

Switzerland manager Vladimir Petkovic has very few dilemmas to ponder for his side's Euro 2020 last-16 battle with France on Monday evening.

The Swiss did not pick up any fresh injury or suspension concerns in their final group game - a comprehensive 3-1 success over Turkey - and Petkovic may very well stick with the same XI from that strong showing.

An identical team would see Ricardo Rodriguez once again feature in the back three alongside Nico Elvedi and Manuel Akanji, while goalkeeper Yann Sommer briefly left the camp for the birth of his child but was back in time to face Turkey.

Rodriguez featuring further back would see Steven Zuber start on the left after he assisted all three of his side's goals against Turkey, while Silvan Widmer will hope to keep his place on the opposite side over Kevin Mbabu.

Denis Zakaria will likely keep warming the bench as Granit Xhaka and Remo Freuler pair up in the middle behind Xherdan Shaqiri, who needs one more goal to become his country's all-time leading goalscorer at the European Championships.

Shaqiri did break the Swiss record for the most goals at the World Cup and Euros combined (seven) with his brace against Turkey, and the Liverpool man ought to provide support to a familiar front two of Haris Seferovic and Breel Embolo against the world champions.

Switzerland possible starting lineup: Sommer; Elvedi, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Xhaka, Freuler, Zuber; Shaqiri; Embolo, Seferovic
