World Cup: Luis Díaz starts for Colombia as Switzerland lose Manzambi to injury | OneFootball

Colombia face Switzerland in the last Round of 16 tie at the 2026 World Cup. Luis Diaz and co will hope to continue their solid campaign as fellow CONMEBOL side Argentina await the winners in the quarter-final. Switzerland are also unbeaten so far in the competition as their comfortable win over Algeria ended their wait for a knockout stage victory since 1938.

FC Bayern's star is on the starting lineup once again, but Switzerland's Johan Manzambi is out of the game due to an injury. SC Freiburg's sought-after midfielder has been instrumental since his match-winning performance off the bench in Switzerland's second match against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Murat Yakin's starting lineup still includes three Bundesliga-based players as FC Augsburg’s Fabian Rieder joins regular starters Gregor Kobel and Nico Elvedi.
