For Athekame, who played in the U21 European Championship qualifier on Friday, this is his first call-up to the senior national team. The 20-year-old moved from Young Boys to AC Milan in the summer, where he has made three partial appearances so far.
Athekame's call-up is also a precautionary measure after Isaac Schmidt suffered a bruised foot in training. However, the Werder Bremen defender remains in the national team, which now travels to Slovenia with 24 players. Switzerland will play their fourth match of the World Cup qualifiers in Ljubljana on Monday.
