Impact Manzambi had been one of the standout performers of the tournament before the injury, scoring three goals and adding two assists across his last three games. He suffered a non-contact knee injury in training the day before the round of 16 clash with Colombia, which forced him out of that match entirely. Switzerland were noticeably blunter going forward without him, managing just two shots on target across 120 goalless minutes before advancing on penalties. He was still unable to train in the days that followed, seen on the sideline in a knee brace, and Yakin has now confirmed he won't be risked against Argentina. Fabian Rieder is the likely beneficiary, expected to retain his spot in central midfield after deputizing in the Colombia win.
