Who shone, who fell short? blue Sport follows the performances of the Swiss mercenaries very closely.
🇩🇪 Bundesliga
Bayer Leverkusen
Granit Xhaka
Leverkusen win their home game against Eintracht Frankfurt 2-1 after trailing 1-0. Granit Xhaka pulls the strings in midfield, but remains without a goal. Xhaka and Co. face Stade Brest in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Dortmund
Gregor Kobel
Dortmund celebrate a 2:1 home win against St. Pauli. The Swiss national team goalkeeper, who is under little pressure, is powerless to prevent the goal. BVB face Real Madrid away from home in the Champions League on Tuesday. Last season, the two teams faced each other in the final, with the Whites prevailing 2-0 in London.
Gladbach
Jonas Omlin
Gladbach beat Heidenheim 3-2 with Omlin still missing through injury.
Gladbach
Nico Elvedi
National team defender Elvedi is out with a thigh problem. It is not yet clear how long the 28-year-old will be out for.
Augsburg
Ruben Vargas
Augsburg lose 3-1 at Freiburg. Vargas, who has already had to declare a forfeit for the national team games, is still out with an ankle injury.
Mainz 05
Silvan Widmer
Mainz lose 2-0 at home to RB Leipzig, with Widmer coming on as a substitute in the 87th minute.
Stuttgart
Fabian Rieder
Rieder plays the full distance in the 4-0 defeat away at Bayern Munich. However, it is not Rieder who makes the headlines, but Harry Kane. The Englishman, who has recently come in for criticism, shuts his critics up with a hat-trick. On Tuesday, Rieder and Stuttgart continue their Champions League campaign away to Juventus Turin.
Stuttgart
Leonidas Stergiou
Stergiou is still injured.
Wolfsburg
Cédric Zesiger
Zesiger makes the bench in the 4-2 defeat against Werder Bremen.
Frankfurt
Aurèle Amenda
The 21-year-old is on the bench for the 2-1 defeat against Leverkusen.
Freiburg
Bruno Ifechukwu Ogbus
The 18-year-old has to help out in the 2nd team and plays in central defense in the 4-2 win against Eintracht Trier.
Freiburg
Johan Manzambi
The same applies to Johan Manzambi, who celebrated his 19th birthday on October 14. He set up the 3:1 in the 36th minute during his appearance in the 2nd team and was cautioned two minutes later.
VfL Bochum
Noah Loosli
Loosli has yet to play a minute in the league for the Bundesliga's bottom club (1 point after 7 rounds). In the 3-1 defeat, however, he did not make it onto the match sheet - the relegation hero of the previous season has only been in the squad three times so far. He was only used in the DFB Cup at the start of the season. He is therefore unlikely to have shed any tears when the dismissal of coach Peter Zeidler was announced on Sunday.
🏴 Premier League
Manchester City
Manuel Akanji
That rarely happens: Akanji sits on the bench against Wolverhampton. From there, he sees his team-mate John Stones score the 2:1 winner in the fifth minute of stoppage time. ManCity play Sparta Prague at home in the Champions League on Wednesday.
Newcastle
Fabian Schär
Newcastle lose 1-0 at home to Brighton, with Schär slotting home after a one-two with Danny Welbeck. Not easy to defend, but Schär still doesn't look very good in this action. Here you can see the scene in the video.
🇮🇹 Serie A
Inter Milan
Yann Sommer
Three days before the Champions League match against YB in Wankdorf, Inter celebrated a 1-0 away win against AS Roma in the league. It was the third win in eight matches in the league. Sommer was lucky in the 11th minute when the ball slipped through his fingers and landed on the post - a slapstick move with a happy ending(video). The 35-year-old then makes two more strong saves. In the Champions League, former international goalkeeper Sommer has yet to concede a goal in the first two games. Can the Bernese do what Haaland and Co. failed to do on Wednesday and overcome the Swiss wall?
AC Milan
Noah Okafor
The 24-year-old started for only the third time this season in the 1-0 win against Udinese Calcio, but was substituted at the break. With Milan playing shorthanded from the 29th minute onwards, the defensive-minded American Yunus Musah replaced Okafor. On Tuesday, Milan will host FC Brugge in the Champions League. After two defeats, a win is urgently needed there.
Bologna
Michel Aebischer
Aebischer is missing through injury in the 2:2 draw against Genoa.
Bologna
Dan Ndoye
Ndoye also misses the game through injury.
Bologna
Remo Freuler
And so, of the Swiss trio, only captain Remo Freuler makes an appearance, playing a solid game. In the Champions League, Bologna face Aston Villa, who have won their first two games, on Tuesday.
Empoli
Nicolas Haas
Haas was substituted in the 78th minute against leaders Napoli with the score at 0-1. The result remained the same, but Haas was shown a yellow card in the sixth minute of stoppage time.
Parma
Simon Sohm
Sohm, who is cautioned after just over half an hour, leaves the pitch in the 71st minute against Como Calcio with the score at 1-1. The result remains the same.
🇪🇸 LaLiga
Betis Sevilla
Ricardo Rodriguez
In the 2-1 away win against Osasuna, Rodriguez is substituted in the 6th minute of the 12 minutes of stoppage time.
Sevilla
Djibril Sow
Sow is substituted in the 70th minute against Barcelona with the score at 0-3. He receives a yellow card in the 85th minute for pushing too hard. In the end, Sevilla lose 5-1 to the leaders.
Real Valladolid
Eray Cömert
Cömert played in central midfield in the 3-2 away win against Deportivo Alavés. A solid performance from the 26-year-old.
🇫🇷 Ligue 1
AS Monaco
Philipp Köhn
In the 0-0 draw against Lille, Radoslaw Majecki, who replaced Köhn as No. 1 last season and is now back after an ankle injury, is between the posts for Monaco for the first time this season. Is Köhn now back in the role of backup goalkeeper or will the 26-year-old remain first choice? Monaco face Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League on Tuesday.
AS Monaco
Denis Zakaria
Captain Zakaria plays in central midfield and does his job calmly. When Monaco were outnumbered after being sent off, Zakaria put in a huge sprint, was played on, took off and found his master in the goalkeeper's strong reaction. He really deserved that goal.
AS Monaco
Breel Embolo
Embolo was substituted in the 63rd minute but is still without a goal this season. Even from point-blank range, he misses the target, shooting the ball over the goal from around one meter. However, the goal would not have counted anyway as Embolo was offside.
Marseille
Ulisses Garcia
Marseille tear Montpellier apart. Garcia sets up the second goal on the way to a 5:0 away win. He was substituted in the 79th minute and nothing much happened after that.
Toulouse
Vincent Sierro
Toulouse captain Vincent Sierro played in central midfield in the 1-1 draw against SCO Angers. He is not the focus of the goals.
Montpellier
Becir Omeragic
Omeragic was substituted in the 55th minute of the 3-0 defeat to Marseille. He was replaced by Stefan Dzodic, who was sent off nine minutes later with a red card.
Montpellier
Gabriel Barès
As is so often the case, Barès does not get a chance and watches the 5-0 defeat from the bench. Montpellier are bottom of the table after eight rounds with just four points.
Stade Brest
Edimilson Fernandes
Fernandes is on the bench for the 1-1 draw against Rennes.
Le Havre
Ruben Londja
The 18-year-old will play with the U19s against PSG on Saturday. He was substituted at the break with the score at 0:2. His team-mates then managed to score the equalizer, but nothing more.
Other Swiss players abroad
Benfica Lisbon
Zeki Amdouni
Nati striker Amdouni is in the starting eleven for the 2-0 win in the 3rd round of the Cup. He was substituted at the break with the score at 1-0. This was probably to give him a little more time to recover before next Wednesday's Champions League match against Feyenoord.
Feyenoord Rotterdam
Jordan Lotomba
Lotomba played at right-back in the 5-1 win against Go Ahead Eagles.
Fortuna Sittard
Ryan Fosso

Andi Zeqiri
In the 2:1 win against RSC Charleroi, Zeqiri set up the 2:0 in stoppage time of the first half. The Swiss player is no longer on the pitch when the goal is conceded in the 95th minute.

Noah Rupp
Rupp is not in the Karlsruher SC squad.
