Benjamin Huggel has been restored to the Switzerland squad for the friendly match against fellow UEFA EURO 2008™ co-hosts Austria.
Suspension served
The Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder has now served a suspension for his part in an altercation at the end of Switzerland's final 2006 FIFA World Cup play-off game against Turkey. He will be in coach Jakob Kuhn's otherwise predictable-looking squad as they look ahead to taking on Austria in Innsbruck on 11 October.
