World Cup: Switzerland defender may have to quit over muscle inflammation

Team doctor Roland Grossen said Thursday a final decision on whether Behrami will be allowed to play has not yet been made, the AP reports.

Behrami has been plagued by a muscle inflammation for some time, and sat on the bench during Switzerland's World Cup opener against France on Tuesday. On Wednesday, Behrami resumed full practice for the first time, and on Thursday once again complained of pain, Grossen said.
