Swedish Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon this summer
Gunners forward the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut from Graham Potter's initial Swedish national team selection, while Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received selection
The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo more medical tests in the coming days following concerns he sustained a muscle problem in Arsenal's Premier League win at the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' Champions League victory versus the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from 22 October due to a groin problem, was selected for World Cup qualifying fixtures versus Switzerland (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players were included in the Premier League players selected by former multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
The English manager took over the Swedish federation first for an interim period on 20 October, under a month following he was dismissed by the Hammers
Former boss the Danish coach was fired following Sweden's 1-0 loss against Kosovo in mid-October, a result that made automatic qualification from Group B out of reach
Current Situation
Sweden sit last place in Group B with just one point from four matches
Even if they fail to finish second, they could still take part in the qualification playoffs as a result thanks to their showing in the latest UEFA competition
