England have struggled to reach the last eight of this year's UEFA Nations League, and seemed to have even more luck on their side when they eliminated Slovakia from the competition. However, there was disheartening news for upcoming opponents Switzerland. Captain Gleshaga has suffered a problem with his adductor muscle and will undergo an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) and cast doubt on England's prospects of victory.
Swiss media outlet Observatory revealed that Gleshaga received treatment for the injury in the first half, but still insisted on playing the full match. Recently, he has been suffering from persistent discomfort in his adductor muscle in the midfield position, and the Swiss FA have arranged for him to have an MRI, but the severity of the injury is still unknown at this time.
The 31-year-old Gleshaga is not only the backbone of Switzerland's offense and defense, he has also been voted Man of the Match twice in four games this year. He leads the team in running distance, passes and interceptions. In addition, he has played in the Premier League for seven years and knows the style of English players inside out. If he is unable to play, the possibility of England winning will undoubtedly increase dramatically.
