Misses friendly, likely for opener
Okafor (calf) missed Saturday's friendly against Jordan but is expected to be fit ahead of the World Cup opener, according to the Swiss FA.
Analysis: Okafor is still working on his return and is not being risked yet, as the forward was absent for a friendly as Switzerland prepares for the World Cup. However, his status for the World Cup has been reinforced, as the forward is expected to be fit for the "long run." He is likely to serve as a backup for the national team at forward, earning minutes here and there until a breakout performance ensues
Won't return this season
Okafor (calf) is out for Sunday's match against Sunderland, according to manager Daniel Farke. "Noah is still out."
Analysis: Okafor was originally labeled as out for two games, but will miss more than that, missing a third match and the season finale. The forward then ends his campaign, a decent first run in the Premier League, as he prepares for the next campaign. That said, he notched nine goals on 35 shots and one assist on 20 chances created in 28 appearances (19 starts) this campaign.
