Two changes apiece in Switzerland-Honduras match

Date:

Switzerland coach Ottmar Hitzfeld made two changes to his line-up against Honduras Wednesday, bringing in striker Josip Drmic as he goes in search of a victory that could take his side through to the knockout phase.

Honduras, with no points on the board, also made a couple of changes from the line-up they used in their last match against Ecuador, recalling England-based midfielder Wilson Palacios, who had been suspended for the 2-1 defeat by Ecuador.

There are a number of possible permutations in Group E, though France, currently on six points, look certain to qualify. Switzerland and Ecuador both have three points, though the Swiss have an inferior goal difference.

Diego Benaglio, Stephan Lichtsteiner, Gokhan Inler (capt), Fabia Schaer, Granit Xhaka, Valon Behrami, Ricardo Rodriguez, Admir Mehmedi, Johan Djourou, Xherdan Shaqiri, Josip Drmic
