Aston Villa’s international break began on a negative note, with confirmation Johan Manzambi was forced to withdraw from the Switzerland squad due to injury.
The midfielder sustained a calf injury in last weekend’s 4-4 draw at Manchester United which ruled him out of the double header against Slovenia and Scotland.
"Despite intensive medical care and further assessment, his condition has not improved sufficiently, making it impossible for him to feature in either match," the Swiss FA said in a statement.
"In consultation with Aston Villa, Manzambi will return to his club this Friday."
