Sweden Squad Reveal: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon in July
Gunners forward the Swedish attacker has been omitted in Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national squad, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker received inclusion
The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo more medical tests this week amid fears he suffered a thigh issue during Arsenal's Premier League victory at the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' European success against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined since 22 October because of muscle issues, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying fixtures versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes are among Potter's England-based players selected under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
Potter's Role
The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation initially temporarily on 20 October, under four weeks following he was dismissed by the Hammers
Previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following the national team's 1-0 loss to Kosovo in mid-October, a result that ended direct progression in Group B impossible
Current Position
Sweden sit last place in their qualifying group having just a single point in four matches
Should they fail to secure second place, they may yet be involved in the secondary qualification due to thanks to their showing in the latest Nations League
