But a real blow has struck the Nati just a few hours before kickoff.

According to Sky Sports, the tournament’s biggest breakout star, Johan Manzambi, has been ruled out of the match against Colombia due to a knee injury.

The severity has not yet been determined, but it is terrible news for the Swiss, who are losing a player involved in five goals in four matches at this World Cup (three goals, two assists).

It now remains to be seen whether the 20-year-old midfielder could return if the Nati qualify for the quarter-finals.
