Yakin named a preliminary 33-man group last month in the hopes of replicating its fine run at the last tournament, where it was beaten by Spain in the last eight after eliminating favourite France on penalties.

Notable absentees from the final party include Genk striker Andi Zaqiri, who scored nine goals in 37 appearances in 2023-2024, as well as Kevin Mbabu, who has 24 caps and was part of the side that beat Didier Deschamps' men three years ago. 

Former Arsenal skipper Xhaka will lead his side for a third time at an international tournament, after helping Bayer Leverkusen win its first Bundesliga title this season. 

Manchester City's Akanji has enjoyed another fine season, helping the Citizens keep 17 clean sheets in 48 appearances in all competitions as he continues to assert himself as one of the Premier League's finest defenders. 

As part of its Euro 2024 preparation, Switzerland will host Austria in a friendly match on Sunday before travelling to Germany. 

The Swiss will kickstart their Group A campaign against Hungary in Koln on 15 June, followed by an encounter with Scotland and a meeting with the host.
