The Swiss football federation said on Tuesday that forward Breel Embolo had been prevented from flying to the United States with his teammates for the World Cup due to a problem with his visa.
The Rennes player, 29, was expected to leave with the rest of the squad for Los Angeles from Zurich earlier in the day.
“Unfortunately, Breel Embolo is currently unable to travel to the United States with the team,” the ASF said.
“His ESTA (Electronic System for Travel Authorisation) authorisation had been approved until this morning.
“However, at 10:30 a.m., we were informed that his ESTA application had been placed under further review.
“We are currently in contact with the relevant authorities and expect that Breel will either join the team later today or travel tomorrow and join the squad then.
“We will keep you informed as soon as we have any further updates.”
