Swedish Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker signed with Arsenal after leaving Sporting this summer
Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut in the new manager's first Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received inclusion
The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo more assessments this week following concerns of a thigh issue in Arsenal's Premier League triumph against Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' European win versus the Czech side on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, absent from action since late October due to a groin problem, made the squad to play in World Cup qualifying games versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back after a head knock
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes were included in Potter's Premier League players chosen by former multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
Potter took over by Sweden originally for an interim period on 20 October, less than four weeks following his departure by West Ham
Former coach the Danish coach lost his job after Sweden's setback against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification from qualifying group impossible
Present Position
Sweden find themselves last place of Group B with only one point in four matches
Even if they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they could still participate in the World Cup play-offs because of their results during the previous UEFA competition
