Swedish Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Named Whereas Gyokeres Omitted
The striker moved to the Gunners after leaving Sporting this summer
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out in Graham Potter's maiden Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker has earned selection
Gyokeres is set to undergo more assessments in the coming days following fears of a muscle problem in Arsenal's English top flight triumph against the Clarets last weekend
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' Champions League victory against Slavia Prague earlier this week
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from late October owing to a groin problem, was selected for World Cup qualifying matches against Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating after a head knock
- Newcastle wide player the Swedish international
These players were included in Potter's England-based players chosen under former multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation originally for an interim period in late October, under four weeks following leaving by the Hammers
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following Sweden's setback against Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that made automatic qualification from their World Cup group unattainable
Current Standing
The Swedish team sit last place in their qualifying group having just one point in four matches
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they may yet take part in the qualification playoffs due to of their performance in the most recent Nations League
