Before Switzerland's World Cup European qualifiers against Kosovo, Swiss coach Jakin talked about defender Akanji.

Akanji, 30, also played for Manchester City three times in the Club World Cup this summer, but he lost the chance to play in the Premier League in the new season and was loaned to Inter Milan by Manchester City at the last moment of the summer transfer period. However, in Switzerland's match against Kosovo in the early morning of tomorrow, Akanji is expected to play. Coach

Arkanji said: "Usually, the players should have played several games in the new season. But Akanji is a little unlucky, after all, he was originally a regular main player at Manchester City. However, Akanji has not lost the pace of the game. I am very happy that he and Enbolo are ready to play, and they have both experienced a good pre-season preparation period."
