Sweden Squad Reveal: Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Excluded
The striker moved to Arsenal after leaving Sporting in July
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut from Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national squad, while Reds forward Alexander Isak secured a place
The Arsenal forward is set for further medical tests in the coming days following concerns of a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight victory against the Clarets last weekend
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' Champions League success versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Alexander Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from 22 October due to a groin injury, made the squad for World Cup qualifying fixtures against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
These players were included in the England-based contingent named under former multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
The New Manager's Hiring
The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially for an interim period on 20 October, under four weeks after he was dismissed from West Ham
Former boss the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result which rendered direct progression in their World Cup group impossible
Present Standing
The Swedish team sit last place in their qualifying group with only one point from their opening four games
Even if they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification because of their results in the most recent Nations League
