Sweden Squad Lineup: Alexander Isak Selected While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker joined Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon during the offseason
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from the new manager's first Swedish national squad, while Liverpool forward the talented attacker received inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled for additional assessments this week following worries he suffered a muscle problem during the Gunners's Premier League victory against Burnley last weekend
The 27-year-old sat out Arsenal' European success against the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from late October due to a groin injury, was selected for World Cup qualifying fixtures against the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes are among Potter's Premier League players selected under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation originally temporarily in late October, less than four weeks following leaving by the Hammers
Previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked after Sweden's defeat against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that ended straight qualification from Group B out of reach
Present Situation
Sweden are currently bottom of their qualifying group with just one point from four matches
Should they fail to finish second, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance during the previous UEFA competition
