Gustav Svensson is like to replace Hull midfield Sebastian Larsson who is suspended after picking up two yellows in the group stage, but Sweden are expected to name an otherwise unchanged side from the one that beat Mexico last week...
Switzerland are without Fabian Schar and captain Stephan Lichtsteiner, who are both serving suspensions after picking up two yellows apiece, and they are likely to be replaced by Johan Djourou and Michael Land respectively.
The gesture is associated with Albanian nationalists, so given the dim view usually taken about such things it was a mild surprise when Fifa opted only to fine the pair. Shaqiri’s and Xhaka’s pockets are lighter by 10,000 Swiss francs (about £7,600) each, while Stephan Lichtsteiner must stump up 5,000 francs for joining in with their celebrations.
