Sweden Team Lineup: Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
The striker moved to Arsenal after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker was left out in the new manager's initial Swedish national squad, while Liverpool forward the talented attacker secured selection
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo further examinations this week following fears of a hamstring injury in Arsenal's English top flight victory at Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres was absent from the Gunners' European victory against the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from late October because of muscle issues, made the squad to play in World Cup qualifying fixtures against Switzerland (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes are among Potter's England-based players named under former multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
Potter's Role
Potter was appointed by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, under a month after leaving by West Ham
Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following Sweden's 1-0 loss against Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that ended straight qualification in their World Cup group out of reach
Present Situation
The Swedish team find themselves last place of their qualifying group with only a single point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance in the latest Nations League
