Sweden Squad Lineup: Alexander Isak Selected While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres moved to the Gunners after leaving Sporting in July
Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres was left out in the new manager's first Swedish national squad, while Liverpool striker the talented attacker has earned inclusion
Gyokeres is due for further assessments in the coming days amid fears he sustained a hamstring injury during Arsenal's English top flight triumph against the Clarets last weekend
The 27-year-old sat out Arsenal' Champions League win against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Isak Returns
Isak, who has been sidelined from late October because of a groin problem, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying matches against Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Additional England-based Selections
- Tottenham playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering after a head knock
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
These players were included in Potter's England-based contingent chosen under ex- multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
Potter was appointed by Sweden initially on a short-term basis on 20 October, under four weeks following his departure from West Ham
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result which rendered automatic qualification in qualifying group out of reach
Current Position
The Swedish team find themselves bottom in their qualifying group having just a single point in four matches
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet take part in the qualification playoffs because of their performance during the previous UEFA competition
