Switzerland coach Murat Yakin admits he doesn't regard Newcastle defender Fabian Schar as a first-choice.
Schar has been outstanding for Newcastle this season.
But Yakin says: It was an intensive exchange, open and honest.
"We haven't discussed it like that before. He now knows his role.
"Of course he wants to play. We can't allow ourselves to fall out within the national team. Fabian is now looking forward, let's see how he accepts his role."
