Manzambi to miss Switzerland's World Cup quarter-final against Argentina with injury | OneFootball

Switzerland will be without Johan Manzambi for their World Cup quarter-final against Argentina.

The SC Freiburg midfielder missed Switzerland's round of 16 penalty shootout victory over Colombia with a knee injury and has failed to recover in time for the last-eight clash.

"We tried everything that we could to get him back, unfortunately, he's unable to perform tomorrow," Switzerland coach Murat Yakin said at a press conference ahead of the game (via Reuters).

"Johan Manzambi is in ​a lot of pain. It was a shock to all of us. This momentum was on his side, and there is so much ​joy when he plays football."

Manzambi has been one of Switzerland's standout performers at the tournament, racking up three goals and two assists in his first four World Cup appearances.
