Newcastle United defender Fabian Schar has been left out of the Switzerland squad for clashes against Belarus and Israel.
The Swiss FA claim that Schar has not been selected due to being "injured" ahead of Newcastle's clash with Nottingham Forest. Schar missed the 2-0 defeat against Man City after a head wound suffered at Wembley in the Carabao Cup final but returned against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Schar's injury was not mentioned in today's Press conference and he was pictured training yesterday, it remains to be seen whether he is around at the City Ground tomorrow night. A Swiss FA statement read: "Compared to the World Cup squad, Fabian Schär, Fabian Frei (both injured)."
