You never forget your debut for the senior national team. Especially when your first appearance comes with two assists to your name. That is exactly how Zachary Athekame’s first game for Switzerland went. The Lyon full-back, who is owned by Milan, is continuing his excellent start to the season with the Swiss national team as well: he registered two assists for Zeki Amdouni in the 0-3 win away to North Macedonia.
'RSI Sport''s praised Zachary Athekame on his senior Switzerland debut: "On paper, he should have been marking North Macedonia’s strongest player, Elmas. He had no trouble at the back, also because the hosts hardly threatened at all. Going forward, he provided two assists, as many as he had in his first five games for Lyon. One question naturally arises: why did Milan send him out on loan?"
