Switzerland will be favored to grab the points when they take on Group G minnows Togo in Dortmund on Monday.

Swiss trainer Jakob Kuhn, who was on the Swiss side that competed in the 1966 finals but never made it onto the pitch as he was sent home early for breaking a curfew, has injury concerns to deal with. Defender Valon Behrami, who plays for Lazio, was injured in training and will likely not be able to play again in the tournament.

There was more positive news about Ludovic Magnin, who was left with an injured ankle after the France match and skipped training on Thursday.

"We're optimistic. He should be fit to play on Monday," said Swiss medical officer Roland Grossen.

The Swiss, who possess the third youngest side at the finals, proved a match for former world champions France last Tuesday, with Arsenal center-half Philippe Senderos, who hit the bar with a header in Stuttgart, playing particularly well. The match, though, ended in a scoreless draw.

Like France though they've got issues up front after Johan Vonlanthen, the preferred choice to pair up with Alexander Frei in attack, missed out on coming to Germany with a torn thigh muscle.

Kuhn put Marco Streller, who plays his club football in Germany with FC Cologne, up front with Frei in the opener and he'll be hoping this duo can be more productive this time around.

South Korea coach Dick Advocaat stressed before his side's run-in with World Cup debutants Togo that he wouldn't be underestimating them, and he was right as the Africans went into half-time leading the 2002 semi-finalists 1-0 after a goal by Mohamed Kader.

But the Koreans eventually hit back, taking the honors 2-1.

Togo, who place heavy reliance on star player Emmanuel Adebayor of Arsenal, put up a spirited performance made all the better considering their captain Jean-Paul Abalo was sent off early in the second half.

The side may also have been distracted given the pre-game controversy centered on trainer Otto Pfister. The German Pfister resigned just days before the game in a row over unpaid player bonuses.

In a farce that did Togolese football's reputation no good at all, assistant trainer Kodjovi Mawuena was appointed to step in before Pfister eventually returned just before the game after the bonus row was resolved. He will stay at least until the World Cup is over.

But the Togolese camp is not a happy one for Pfister this week announced he was intending to sue Assogbavi Komlan, secretary general of the Togo Football Federation, who claimed the 68-year-old trainer was an alcoholic.

"I am going to sue Komlan for defamation and bring the matter to the attention of FIFA," said Pfister. "To say that I am an alcoholic is especially offensive because I don't drink a drop of alcohol."

Pfister blamed a lack of realism and respect for the loss to South Korea.

"African players take it very easy -- they think they are going to win before the game. You have to respect the opposition -- the players thought we were going to win and get three points. But it is time to forget about that -- it is old news -- and concentrate on Switzerland," he said.
