Vargas out of Switzerland squad with gastroenteritis

Sevilla winger Vargas ruled out of Switzerland's Nations League camp due to gastroenteritis; will rejoin when recovered.

Sevilla winger Rubén Vargas will not report to Switzerland's national team camp on Monday for Nations League matches against Slovenia and Scotland due to gastroenteritis, the Swiss Football Association confirmed. The 67-cap international was fit enough to start Friday's La Liga draw with Alavés, where he missed a penalty in the 32nd minute before being substituted in the 59th.

Manager Murat Yakin, who begins training this afternoon at Berit Sitterstadion in St. Gallen, has called up Roggerio Nyakossi of Oud-Heverlee Leuven and Isaac Schmidt of Young Boys as replacements. Hamburg defender Miro Muheim has also withdrawn due to muscle problems. Vargas is expected to rejoin the squad once he recovers.
