Switzerland's team doctor says defender Philippe Senderos will miss the side's two remaining group matches because of an ankle injury.
Senderos sprained his right ankle in Wednesday's 1-0 upset win against Spain.
Team doctor Cuno Wetzel says X-rays and magnetic scans Thursday showed no fractures but a "painful distortion of his ankle."
Wetzel says "he will be out for the next two games."
