Manchester City center-back Manuel Akanji has been forced to step down from representing Switzerland in the upcoming international fixtures, following a muscle injury. This latest setback continues a challenging year of fitness issues for Akanji.
His absence represents a significant loss for Switzerland's defense, as his skill and international experience have consistently reinforced the national team's backline.
Akanji's injuries this year include a muscle strain from October 31 to November 4, a health-related setback on April 18-19, and another brief injury on March 28-29.
In the current Premier League season, Akanji has contributed notably to Manchester City with nine appearances and an average match rating of 6.9.
Akanji played in Manchester City’s recent match against Brighton & Hove Albion on November 9, 2024, where City was narrowly defeated 2-1. The match took place at 17:30 UTC at the American Express Stadium in Falmer, England. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland scored in the 23rd minute, while Brighton’s J. Pedro and M. O'Riley scored in the 78th and 83rd minutes, respectively.
