Michel Aebischer shifts over to cover at wing-back instead, with Fabian Rieder on the opposite flank.

Breel Embolo started his first game of the tournament against Germany, having only recently returned from a knee injury, and is fit enough to keep his place.

Ruben Vargas and Dan Ndoye complete the front three with Burnley’s Zeki Amdouni hoping to come off the bench.

Captain Granit Xhaka will have his hands full marshalling the midfield against Italy, but will have help from Remo Freuler, who already has two assists from three games to his name during this European Championship so far.
