Chicago Fire FC midfielder Xherdan Shaqiri was not starting in the Euro 2024 quarterfinal clash for Switzerland against England at the Dusseldorf Arena.

He was subbed in during the second half of extra-time with the score tied 1-1.

The 32-year-old former Bayern Munich and Liverpool player has only started one match in the Euro 2024 group stage in which he scored a stunning goal.

He has been on of the most effective player for his country in major tournaments. He has made 132 international appearances for his country, scoring 32 goals in them.

Since his move to the Major League Soccer (MLS), the midfielder has been struggling with his match fitness. Swiss coach Murat Yakin uses his as a impact substitute in the second half.
