Injuries & Absentees

Switzerland has a clean bill of health with Zeki Amdouni (Burnley) successfully returning from a long-term ACL injury. Qatar’s squad is fully available, but the heavy reliance on star winger Akram Afif makes them tactically predictable if he is marked out of the game by an elite defender like Manuel Akanji.
