Swedish Squad Reveal: Isak Selected While Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker was left out from the new manager's initial Sweden squad, while Reds forward the talented attacker received selection
Gyokeres is due for more examinations in the coming days amid concerns of a hamstring injury in the Gunners's English top flight triumph at Burnley last weekend
The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' European success versus Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined since 22 October owing to a groin injury, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying fixtures versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players were included in the Premier League contingent selected by former multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
The New Manager's Role
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation originally on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than a month after his departure from the Hammers
Previous manager the Danish coach was sacked following Sweden's defeat against Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that made direct progression from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Situation
The Swedish team sit last place in Group B having only one point in four matches
Should they fail to finish second, they may yet take part in the secondary qualification as a result of their results during the previous UEFA competition
