Ivelj's national team jersey with the number 4 was found hanging from a lamppost in Chur. The 18-year-old midfielder, most recently under contract with Grasshoppers, will play for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga from the coming season.

Shortly afterwards, another player, Julia Stierli, was found in a café in Zurich. The 28-year-old defender also plays for Freiburg in Germany.

In other locations from Geneva to Graubünden, all 23 players in the Swiss European Championship squad will be announced by Monday afternoon.
