Women's Euros: Switzerland cancel training after 19 cases of stomach problems

Due to stomach issues reported by 19 players and staff members, Switzerland canceled training on Monday. The Swiss are scheduled to play Sweden in their second Group C match on Wednesday after opening their Women's Euro 2022 campaign with a 2-2 draw against Portugal on Saturday.

However, due to the isolation of eight players and 11 staff members because of gastrointestinal issues, their preparations for that game at Bramall Lane have been disrupted.

The impacted players are Eseosa Aigbogun, Svenja Folmli, Seraina Friedli, Rahel Kiwic, Lara Marti, Sandrine Mauron, Julia Stierli, and Riola Xhemaili, according to a statement from the Swiss Football Association.

Players and employees who are affected will stay in isolation until they stop exhibiting symptoms.

Swiss team doctor Martin Schober said: "The cause of the gastrointestinal problems cannot be conclusively clarified from the current situation.

"If everyone is symptom-free tomorrow, we can travel to Sheffield as planned.
