[2024 European Cup Switzerland] Switzerland are heading to the Euros for the sixth time in their history and here we look at their Euro 2024 squad.

UEFA Euro 2024

Switzerland have participated in five UEFA European Championships between 1996 and 2020. They are set to register their sixth appearance in the competition this year. The team has progressed beyond the group stage on two occasions, reaching the Round of 16 in 2016 and the quarter-finals in 2020, marking their first time advancing so far. However, their journey ended in the latter tournament when they were defeated by Spain on penalties after a 1-1 draw in extra time.

They will be looking to beat their best result when they head for the 2024 edition. But who will make Murat Yakin's squad for the Euro 2024?

GOALKEEPERS

With over 80 caps to his name, 35-year-old Inter Milan goalkeeper Yann Sommer is expected to be the first choice in goal for Switzerland at Euro 2024.

Yvon Mvogo will act as a capable backup if needed.

Name Club

Yann Sommer Inter Milan

DEFENDERS

Switzerland's defence is one area that is not likely to have any surprise inclusions when the squad is announced. Manchester City's Manuel Akanji, Borussia Monchengladbach's Nico Elvedi and the experienced veteran Ricardo Rodriguez will be guaranteed starters at Euro 2024.

There is also the experience of Fabian Schar and Silvan Widmer as back-up options, ready to get into the lineup if the situation demands their inclusion.
