He had to sit out the entire game against Hungary, but will be back in the starting line-up against Scotland: Xherdan Shaqiri will make his 124th international appearance for Switzerland. The 32-year-old attacker has been given the nod by Yakin and, together with Ruben Vargas and Dan Ndoye, should provide a goal threat.
However, Duah, who scored the first goal of the game in only his second appearance for the national team in the 3-1 win over Hungary, will not be in the starting eleven. The Ludogorez Rasgrad striker will be on the bench against Scotland for the time being.
This is the only change to the starting eleven compared to the game against Hungary. Otherwise, Yakin is relying on his tried and tested squad. Michel Aebischer will once again play in left midfield.
Switzerland will play their second match in Cologne, as they did at the start of the finals. A win against Scotland would secure qualification for the round of 16 before the final group match against hosts Germany.
The Swiss line-up: Sommer; Schär, Akanji, Rodriguez; Widmer, Freuler, Xhaka, Aebischer; Shaqiri; Ndoye, Vargas.
