Switzerland arrived in England on the back of a bruising 6-0 friendly defeat by Germany in Zurich on Friday evening. Pia Sundhage’s side, however, was severely depleted – Arsenal midfielder Lia Walti was among the significant absentees – and while they are the lowest-ranked of the pot one seeds for the Euro finals draw, Wiegman insisted she would not under-estimate them after October’s friendly victory over France and draw with Australia.
