Swedish Team Lineup: Alexander Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres moved to Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon in July
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker was left out in Graham Potter's maiden Sweden squad, while Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo additional medical tests this week following worries he suffered a thigh issue in the Gunners's Premier League triumph against the Clarets on Saturday
The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' Champions League victory versus Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, who has been sidelined since 22 October because of muscle issues, was selected to play in World Cup qualifying matches against Switzerland (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
These players feature in Potter's Premier League players chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
Potter's Hiring
Potter was named the Swedish federation originally for an interim period on 20 October, under a month after he was dismissed from the Hammers
Previous manager the Danish coach was sacked following Sweden's defeat to Kosovo on 13 October, a result that made straight qualification in Group B unattainable
Current Situation
The Swedish team sit bottom of Group B with just one point from their opening four games
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might be involved in the World Cup play-offs because of their results during the previous UEFA competition
