Xherdan Shaqiri was forced to withdraw from the squad ahead of the win over Georgia through injury and has returned to Liverpool.
Fabian Schar is also ruled out for Switzerland after suffering a nasty head injury against Georgia. Nico Elvedi or Timm Klose will deputise at the back.
Albian Ajeti could come in for striker Mario Gavranovic but elsewhere the lineup may well remain unchanged.

Denmark had to come from behind twice to draw with Kosovo and avoid what would have been a humiliating defeat after some somewhat patronising comments from coach Age Hareide ahead of the game.
The coach may have liked to avoid using Christian Eriksen in that game but the Spurs star was needed from the bench and scored from the spot within minutes.
His return could be one of a number of changes, with Andreas Christensen, Simon Kjaer and Yussuf Poulsen also likely to come in.

Prediction

The top two seeds in Group D go head-to-head here with neither side wanting to slip up so early in the campaign, so this could be a cagey game between two well organised teams.
The Swiss took until the second half to get the job done against Georgia in their opener, while Denmark will be looking to start the group well after a disappointing result in Kosovo.
In truth both of these sides may be happy with a point hoping that Ireland and Georgia also cancel one another out in the other match in the group.
