Swedish Squad Announcement: Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted in Graham Potter's first Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received selection
The Arsenal forward is set for further medical tests this week following concerns of a thigh issue in Arsenal's English top flight victory against Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' Champions League win versus Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Returns
Isak, absent from action since late October because of a groin injury, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying matches against Switzerland (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional England-based Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, working his way back from concussion
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players feature in Potter's England-based players named under ex- multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation originally temporarily in late October, under a month following his departure from the Hammers
Former manager the Danish coach was fired following Sweden's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result which rendered automatic qualification from Group B impossible
Present Situation
Sweden sit bottom in their qualifying group having only a single point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
