Bajrami and Zeqiri called up by Switzerland

Defender Adrian Bajrami has been called up by Switzerland for the first time after leaving Albania. Forward Andi Zeqiri has also returned to the squad, while captain Granit Xhaka is a certainty.

Switzerland will play two away matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. On October 10, they play Sweden, and three days later Slovenia.

Bajrami, who was on Sylvinho's squad list in September, has been called up for the first time by coach Murat Yakin, having played only three friendlies for the Red and Blacks. The 23-year-old left Benfica last month and now plays for Luzern.

Meanwhile, Zeqiri has been called up after a long absence. During the summer transfer window, he moved to Widzew Lodz in Poland.

After the first two matches, Switzerland have six points, followed by Kosovo with three, while Sweden and Slovenia have one each.
