Swedish Selection Lineup: Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal from Sporting in July
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut from Graham Potter's initial Swedish national team selection, while Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured inclusion
Gyokeres is due for additional examinations this week following worries he sustained a hamstring injury during Arsenal's Premier League victory at Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' Champions League success against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from late October because of muscle issues, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying matches against Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
These players were included in the Premier League players named by ex- multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
The New Manager's Hiring
Potter took over by Sweden first temporarily on 20 October, less than four weeks after he was dismissed by West Ham
Previous boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after the national team's setback against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered direct progression from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Situation
Sweden are currently last place of Group B having just one point from their opening four games
Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they could still take part in the World Cup play-offs as a result thanks to their showing during the previous Nations League
