Sweden Squad Lineup: Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal from Sporting during the offseason
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's initial Sweden squad, while Reds striker the talented attacker received inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled for more examinations this week following fears he sustained a hamstring injury during the Gunners's English top flight victory against Burnley on Saturday
The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' European victory against the Czech side on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined since 22 October because of muscle issues, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying fixtures versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
These players are among the England-based players named under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter took over the Swedish federation initially for an interim period on 20 October, less than four weeks following his departure from the Hammers
Former manager the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's setback to Kosovo on 13 October, a result that ended straight qualification from qualifying group impossible
Current Situation
Sweden find themselves bottom of Group B with only one point from their opening four games
Even if they fail to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification as a result of their results during the previous Nations League
