Spain team news: Esther Gonzalez a doubt
Goalkeeper Cata Coll was in a race against time to get fit for the tournament, but she has now been dropped by Spain boss Montserrat Tome. As well as the likely absence of Coll from the starting eleven, the Spanish could be without the tournament’s top scorer, Esther Gonzalez, who is an injury doubt.
Predicted XI (4-3-3): Nanclares; Fernandez, Paredes, Mendez, Ouahabi; Bonmati, Guijarro, Putellas; Del Castillo, Paralluelo, Caldentey
Unavailable:
Questionable: Gonzalez (Injured)
Switzerland team news: Illness in the camp
A couple of days before their clash with Spain, the hosts had to cancel their training session due to a cold going through the camp. No names were given as to who may have picked up an illness, but that will certainly have been disruptive to their plans. It is believed that both Julia Stierli and Coumba Sow have been affected.
Predicted XI (3-5-2): Peng; Calligaris, Wandeler, Maritz; Beney, Reuteler, Walti, Vallotto, Riesen; Folmli, Schertenleib

Questionable: Stierli (Illness), Coumba (Illness)

Spain vs Switzerland prediction
Spain have been the dominant force in women’s international football for the last couple of years, at least in Europe and outside of the Olympics. They romped through the group stages with three wins from three, coming from behind to beat Italy by three goals to one in their final game to mean they had scored 13 goals in those three games.
They now face a Switzerland side that were always expected to give Group A a go as hosts, and they managed to squeeze through to the knockout stages. After a defeat against Norway and a victory against Denmark, the Swiss then managed to share a 1-1 draw with Finland in their final game with a second-half stoppage-time equaliser.
Spain head into this one almost expecting to be crowned European champions, and they are expected to win this quarter-final quite comfortably, even against the hosts.
