LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Switzerland midfielder Alvyn Sanches will be sidelined for several months after being hurt less than 30 minutes into his international debut. The long-term injury for the 22-year-old Lausanne-Sport star will likely stop an expected high-profile transfer in the summer offseason. His club confirms Sunday he has ruptured an ACL. Sanches injured his knee in a tackle deep into stoppage time of Switzerland's 1-1 draw in a friendly at Northern Ireland on Friday. Sanches got his Swiss national-team call in a breakout season. He scored 12 goals in 28 Swiss league games for Lausanne.
