Swedish Team Announcement: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker signed with the Gunners from Sporting during the offseason
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted in Graham Potter's first Sweden squad, whereas Reds forward Alexander Isak received selection
The Arsenal forward is scheduled for more examinations in the coming days following concerns he suffered a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight win against Burnley last weekend
The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' Champions League success versus the Czech side on Tuesday
Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from late October because of a groin problem, has been chosen for the World Cup fixtures against Switzerland (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
These players feature in Potter's Premier League contingent selected by ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
The New Manager's Role
Potter was named the Swedish federation first for an interim period in late October, under a month following leaving from the Hammers
Former boss the Danish coach was fired following Sweden's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result that ended automatic qualification in qualifying group out of reach
Current Position
Sweden sit bottom of Group B having just a single point in four matches
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification because of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
