Steve von Bergen is expected to replace ankle injury victim Philippe Senderos in Switzerland's defence for the World Cup Group H match with Chile, while skipper Alex Frei has resumed training after shaking of a similar problem.
Chile striker Humberto Suazo, who missed their impressive victory over Honduras, has resumed training and could be involved alongside midfielder Jorge Valdivia who is hopeful of shaking off a knock picked up against the Central Americans.
"Every single player knows Monday will require another top performance on our part and that we cannot take anything for granted," said Switzerland boss Ottmar Hitzfeld, whose side produced the shock of the tournament so far by beating European champions Spain 1-0 in their opening match.
