Swiss role for Huggel

FC Basel midfield player Benjamin Huggel has been named in Switzerland's 19-man squad to face France.

Potential debutant
The Swiss welcome the European champions to Geneva for a friendly next Wednesday and Huggel, who featured for FC Basel in last season's UEFA Champions League, has been selected in a 19-man squad.

Rama retained
FC Thun's uncapped striker Milaim Rama retains his place despite being an unused substitute in the UEFA EURO 2004™ qualifiers against Russia and Albania in June.

Injured players
Switzerland are still without Servette FC forward Leonard Thurre because of injury, while SV Werder Bremen defender Ludovic Magnin is also absent after breaking his cheekbone on Saturday.

Strong campaign
The Swiss are going well in qualifying for Portugal next summer and lead Group 10 with 12 points from six games - two clear of the Republic of Ireland and five ahead of Russia.

Switzerland squad
Stiel, Zuberbühler, Haas, M Yakin, Zwissig, Meyer, Müller, Berner, Henchoz, Cabanas, Celestini, Vogel, H Yakin, Cantaluppi, Huggel, Wicky, Chapuisat, Frei, Rama.
