Switzerland’s team for the World Cup has been named by head coach Ottmar Hitzfeld.
The former Bayern Munich manager named five current Serie A players in his squad with Juventus’ Stephan Lichtsteiner and Reto Ziegler (most recently on loan to Sassuolo) joining Napoli midfield trio Gokhan Inler, Blerim Dzemaili, and Valon Behrami.
Hitzfeld also named seven Swiss based players but it is the Bundesliga that is best represented in the final 23 with Bayern’s Xherdan Shaqiri one of nine from German clubs.
Only one member of the squad is in their 30s, centre-back Steve von Bergen, who turns 31 five days before their opener with Ecuador.
Inler will captain Switzerland against Ecuador, France and Honduras in Group E.
The full 23-man squad is as follows:
Goalkeepers: Diego Benaglio (Wolfsburg), Roman Buerki (Grasshopper), Yann Sommer (Basel).
Defenders: Johan Djourou (Hamburg), Michael Lang (Grasshopper), Stephan Lichtsteiner (Juventus), Ricardo Rodriguez (Wolfsburg), Fabian Schaer (Basel), Philippe Senderos (Valencia), Steve von Bergen (Young Boys), Reto Ziegler (Sassuolo)
Midfielders: Tranquillo Barnetta (Eintracht Frankfurt), Valon Behrami (Napoli), Blerim Dzemaili (Napoli), Gelson Fernandes (Freiburg), Gokhan Inler (Napoli), Xherdan Shaqiri (Bayern Munich), Valentin Stocker (Basel)
Forwards: Josip Drmic (Nuremberg), Mario Gavranovic (Zurich), Admir Mehmedi (Freiburg), Haris Seferovic (Real Sociedad), Granit Xhaka (Borussia Monchengladbach)
