In order not to take any risks, the Swiss and Canadians decided not to meet in Cham. Marti had to leave the training camp and will not be able to fly from Zurich to Beijing with the team on Wednesday evening. It is not yet clear who will take his place in the squad.

“We always assume that we need two games to get used to the high international pace,” said national team director Lars Weibel. “That’s why we would have liked to test against such an opponent at this point in time. It’s unfortunate in sport, but we know what kind of time we are currently living in. We knew what could happen. That’s why we’re not quarreling at all, rather we’re grateful that we’re still on the right track.”

There is still one test match left, the one against Finland next Monday, before the Swiss start the Olympic tournament two days later against Team OAR.

Soccer: Christian Eriksen signs with Brentford

(dpa) The Danish national player Christian Eriksen is back in business more than half a year after his collapse at the European Championship – and is playing in the Premier League again. As expected, the 29-year-old joined English promoted team Brentford. This was announced by the London club on Monday.

According to this, Eriksen, who was recently without a contract, signed a contract until next summer after passing the medical check. Only the international release is still pending, it said. Nothing was initially known about an option for another year, as previously reported in the British media.

Eriksen had previously undergone extensive medical examinations at Brentford. He collapsed from cardiac arrest during the group stage match against Finland at last June’s European Championship and had to be resuscitated. He was then fitted with a defibrillator. His contract with Inter Milan was terminated because he was not allowed to play in the Italian Serie A with a defibrillator.
