With Christian Fassnacht (32/SUI), Armin Gigovic (24/BIH), Jaouen Hadjam (23/ALG), Marvin Keller (23/SUI) and Yan Valery (27/TUN), who was loaned out from Sheffield Wednesday in the second half of the season, five players from the professional squad are heading overseas. They will be joined by Keeto Thermoncy (20/HAI), a player from the U21 squad that plays in the Promotion League.
Explosive: Gigovic and Bosnia-Herzegovina will face Switzerland with Keller and Fassnacht in the second group game, with the Swedish-born Bosnian having the best chances of the trio.
Lugano are represented twice with Mohamed Belhadj Mahmoud (26/TUN) and Hannes Delcroix (27/HAI), who are still under contract until July. Cup winners St. Gallen, Servette and Zurich each have one player in Lawrence Ati Zigi (29/GHA), Dylan Bronn (30/TUN) and Livano Comenencia (22/CUW).
There is also a player from the Challenge League in the form of goalkeeper Melvin Mastil (26/ALG), who is on loan to Nyon from Lausanne.
