Previewing Saturday’s intriguing clash between Switzerland and England for AS, former Arsenal defender Senderos revealed just how impressed he had been by the showings his fellow countrymen had produced in Germany.

‘It’s impressive, really. They’re controlling the games well,’ the ex-Switzerland international – capped 57 times by his country – told the Spanish publication.

‘It’s a great team and the players know each other very well. There’s a good mix between veterans and youngsters.

‘Having a goalkeeper like [Yann] Sommer, a centre-back like [Manuel] Akanji and a midfielder like Xhaka, who are world-class, everything else falls into place perfectly.

‘Xhaka’s level of performance has been impressive. I would say he is one of the best Swiss footballers of all time.’

While Senderos is hopeful over Switzerland’s chances, he is wary of players like Bellingham who are capable of producing a moments of magic out of nowhere – as the Real Madrid sensation showed against Slovakia.

‘There is a lot of pressure there with the England national team, I know that. Everything is scrutinised,’ he added.

‘But then they have players like Bellingham, who are capable of finding solutions to problems.’

Asked whether Switzerland can beat Gareth Southgate’s team, Senderos replied ‘It was proven against Italy.

‘Everyone has seen us play and they have seen what we are capable of.

‘I also think that Switzerland benefits from playing against big teams because they adapt better and compete well. It will be a great match.’
