Sweden Team Announcement: Alexander Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres moved to the Gunners from Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted from the new manager's initial Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool forward the talented attacker has earned inclusion
The Arsenal forward is due for additional examinations in the coming days amid concerns he sustained a hamstring injury during the Gunners's English top flight win at the Clarets last weekend
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' Champions League victory versus the Czech side on Tuesday
Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, absent from action since 22 October owing to a groin injury, made the squad for the World Cup games versus Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
These players feature in Potter's England-based contingent selected under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
Potter's Role
The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially on a short-term basis in late October, under a month following leaving by the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome which rendered automatic qualification in qualifying group unattainable
Current Standing
Sweden sit bottom in Group B with just one point in four matches
Should they don't manage to finish second, they may yet take part in the secondary qualification due to thanks to their showing in the most recent Nations League
