Sweden Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Named While Gyokeres Omitted
The striker joined Arsenal from Sporting in July
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out in the new manager's first Sweden squad, while Reds forward Alexander Isak secured inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled for further assessments in the coming days following worries of a muscle problem in Arsenal's English top flight win against Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' Champions League victory versus the Czech side on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, absent from action since 22 October because of a groin injury, was selected for World Cup qualifying fixtures versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from a head injury
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes feature in the England-based players selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach
Potter's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation first temporarily on 20 October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed from the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after the national team's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome which rendered direct progression in Group B impossible
Present Position
The Swedish team find themselves 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, there remains a chance they might participate in the qualification playoffs as a result of their performance in the most recent Nations League
