World Cup 2014: Pajtim Kasami on standby for Switzerland 
Fulham midfielder Pajtim Kasami is on Switzerland's standby list after coach Ottmar Hitzfeld named his 23-man squad for the World Cup in Brazil. Bayern Munich winger Xherdan Shaqiri and Juventus right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner are named in the squad, along with former Arsenal centre-backs Johan Djourou and Philippe Senderos. Each nation's 23 players for the finals have to be confirmed by 2 June.
Switzerland have been drawn in Group E with Ecuador, France and Honduras.
Only one member of the squad is in their 30s, centre-back Steve von Bergen, who turns 31 five days before their opener with Ecaudor.
