Borussia Dortmund striker Alex Frei is set to play his first international match in just over a year after being named yesterday in the Swiss squad to face Germany in a friendly on March 26.
Frei, who was out of action for seven months last year after undergoing a hip and calf operation, was among 21 players selected by Switzerland coach Koebi Kuhn. The 28-year-old forward, just two goals short of equalling Kubilay Tuerkyilmaz's all-time Swiss goal-scoring record, last played for Switzerland in a friendly against Colombia on March 25, 2007.
