Celestini set for Swiss call

Fabio Celestini, born in Lausanne of Italian parents, is set to replace the suspended Johann Vogel in an otherwise unchanged Switzerland side to meet England in Group B in Coimbra tomorrow.

Vogel was sent off in Switzerland’s opening goalless draw against Croatia but Celestini, who featured in Marseille’s UEFA Cup run last season, is a natural replacement in the centre of midfield.

The only doubt is whether Switzerland coach Jacob Kuhn keeps faith with 35-year-old veteran striker Stephane Chapuisat who has not scored for his country for almost two years.

Potential replacements include Johann Vonlanthen and Daniel Gygax.

Team (probable): Stiel, Haas, Murat Yakin, Muller, Spycher, Huggel, Celestini, Wicky, Hakan Yakin, Frei, Chapuisat.
