Sweden Squad Lineup: Isak Selected Whereas Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal after leaving Sporting this summer
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's first Sweden squad, whereas Reds striker the talented attacker secured inclusion
The Arsenal forward is set to undergo further assessments in the coming days amid fears of a hamstring injury during the Gunners's English top flight victory at Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres was absent from the Gunners' European victory against Slavia Prague earlier this week
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, absent from action from late October owing to a groin injury, was selected to play in the World Cup matches against Switzerland (November 15th) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Additional England-based Call-ups
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
These players were included in Potter's England-based players named under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
The New Manager's Hiring
Potter took over the Swedish federation originally on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than a month following he was dismissed from the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following the national team's setback against Kosovo on 13 October, a result that made straight qualification from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Position
Sweden are currently last place in their qualifying group having just a single point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification because of their performance in the latest Nations League
