Resumes ball work

Widmer (knee) has resumed individual training on the pitch and is already working with the ball as he continues his recovery from a patellar tendon injury, he announced on Instagram. "Not where I want to be yet. But getting closer every day, Comeback loading"

Analysis: Widmer suffered a patellar tendon injury in his left knee and has missed Mainz's last three Bundesliga matches while undergoing conservative treatment. The right-back has now progressed to individual work on the pitch with the ball during the international break, providing a positive update as he works his way back from the injury. This represents a meaningful step toward team training, though his own admission that he is not yet where he wants to be suggests he still has work to do before a full return, with his ability to rejoin the squad during the break set to depend on how he progresses.

Could start against Algeria

Widmer is fully fit and could start Switzerland's Round of 32 against Algeria after missing just one training session due to a hip issue, according to Radio Tele Suisse.

Analysis: Widmer's quick return to full training puts him in direct contention for the starting right-back role against Algeria, competing with Dennis Zakaria for the position if Luca Jaquez (undisclosed) is ruled out. The Mainz right-back enjoyed a solid 2025/26 Bundesliga season, making 27 appearances across 1,819 minutes and contributing two goals and one assist for his club, and brings valuable experience and an attacking threat from full-back that Switzerland will hope to utilize in what is a decisive fixture. His ability to combine defensive reliability with forward runs and crossing output makes him a key option for coach Murat Yakin as the Swiss look to qualify for the round of 16.
