Akanji leaves Switzerland squad, set to return to Inter
Manuel Akanji has reportedly left the Switzerland national team squad and will return to Inter a few days earlier than planned. The decision is said to have been taken as a precaution.
It has been reported that Manuel Akanji has left the Switzerland national team squad ahead of the Nations League group match on Monday evening, and will return to Inter several days earlier than planned. According to Sky Sport Italia, the decision was taken as a precaution.
Akanji played the full 90 minutes in Friday evening's 0-0 draw away to Slovenia. The defender, who reportedly suffered muscle fatigue, is not expected to be available for the match against Scotland on Monday.
The fatigue is not expected to affect Inter's Serie A match away to Atalanta next Sunday, which kicks off at 19:45 GMT.
This season, Akanji has started 12 of Inter's 15 official matches. Of these, 9 came in Serie A across 11 matches, and 3 came in the Champions League across 4 matches. He is the player who has logged the most minutes for Inter this season, after Josep Martinez and Nicolò Barella.
