Swedish Selection Lineup: Isak Included Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker joined Arsenal after leaving Sporting this summer
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national squad, while Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has earned inclusion
Gyokeres is due for further examinations in the coming days following concerns he sustained a muscle problem in Arsenal's Premier League triumph at Burnley last weekend
The 27-year-old sat out the Gunners' Champions League success against the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Returns
Isak, absent from action since late October because of muscle issues, made the squad for World Cup qualifying matches versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, working his way back from a head injury
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
These players feature in Potter's Premier League players selected by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
The English manager took over the Swedish federation first temporarily in late October, under four weeks after leaving from the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after the national team's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that ended straight qualification from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Position
The Swedish team find themselves last place of their qualifying group with just a single point from four matches
Even if they don't manage to finish second, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification because of their performance in the most recent UEFA competition
