Swedish Squad Reveal: Isak Selected Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
The striker joined the Gunners from Sporting this summer
Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker has been omitted in the new manager's first Sweden squad, whereas Reds striker Alexander Isak secured inclusion
The Arsenal forward is due to undergo additional assessments in the coming days following fears he sustained a muscle problem during the Gunners's English top flight win at Burnley on Saturday
The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' Champions League success versus the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, absent from action from 22 October owing to muscle issues, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying fixtures versus the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from concussion
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
These players feature in Potter's England-based contingent named under ex- multiple English clubs manager the new Swedish coach
Potter's Role
Potter was named the Swedish federation originally for an interim period on 20 October, under a month after he was dismissed from the Hammers
Former coach the Danish coach was sacked after the national team's 1-0 loss against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that ended straight qualification from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Standing
Sweden are currently last place in Group B having just a single point from four matches
Should they fail to finish second, they may yet be involved in the qualification playoffs due to thanks to their showing during the previous Nations League
