Swedish Squad Announcement: Alexander Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
The striker joined Arsenal after leaving Sporting in July
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted in Graham Potter's first Swedish national squad, while Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured inclusion
Gyokeres is set for more medical tests in the coming days following worries of a hamstring injury in the Gunners's English top flight triumph against Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres missed the Gunners' European success versus the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, absent from action from late October due to a groin problem, was selected to play in the World Cup matches versus Switzerland (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other England-based Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering after a head knock
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes feature in the England-based players named under ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was appointed by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, under four weeks after his departure from the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that ended direct progression from their World Cup group impossible
Present Situation
Sweden find themselves last place of their qualifying group with just one point from their opening four games
Even if they fail to finish second, they may yet take part in the qualification playoffs because of their results during the previous Nations League
