The 28-year-old left-back of Hamburger SV only trained away from the team on Wednesday. Swiss officials announced that he will not be available for the match on Thursday (9:00 p.m., MagentaTV). Muheim had a particularly unfortunate appearance in the opening game against Qatar: he was substituted shortly before the end and, in stoppage time, set up the underdog’s 1-1 equalizer with an own goal.
For Switzerland, the match against Bosnia and Herzegovina is a decisive one. After the surprising draw against Qatar, Granit Xhaka’s team is under pressure to keep their chances of advancing alive. Muheim’s absence further weakens the Swiss defense.
