Magnin Out Of Swiss Squad?

Kobi Kuhn may be looking at a Switzerland squad next summer that doesn’t feature Stuttgart fullback Ludovic Magnin, the defender stretchered off at the weekend against Arminia Bielefeld.

Scans following the game showed Magnin had torn ankle ligaments but the full extent of the injury will only come to the light in the next day or so.

If the damage to his ankle is bad he could be looking at missing the bulk of the remainder of the season, if not the season altogether, effectively ruling him out of the selection process for the one of the host nations. The 28 year old defender made it to Euro 2004 in Portugal and again to the World Cup in Germany in 2006. He’s been capped 47 times and scored 3 goals for Switzerland.

Patrick Mueller Ruled Out For Switzerland?

Euro 2008 hosts Switzerland will likely count Patrick Mueller out of the running for their squad next summer with the Lyon full back having ruptured his ACL in his right knee. The recovery process alone should take him about six months.

Mueller was involved in a reserve game for Lyon over the weekend but was taken off in the first half, team doctors later revealing a complete rupture of the anterior cruciate ligament. Mueller himself has been quoted as saying “I have written off this competition”, which in all honesty is true given Euro 2008 is not far over six months away.

It will likely mean an end too to Mueller’s involvement with Ligue 1 football in France this season with no announcement made yet from the club as to whether or not they’ll keep him on past this summer, his contract expiring at the end of the season.
