“The change then dragged on, but I never trembled that it wouldn’t work. It’s just a shame that I’m only really getting started now,” he said.
Freuler hasn’t made an appearance for Steve Cooper’s side this season but still received a call up from Switzerland manager Murat Yakin for the ongoing international break.
