Swedish Squad Reveal: Isak Named Whereas Gyokeres Excluded
The striker joined the Gunners from Sporting in July
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out in the new manager's maiden Swedish national team selection, while Reds striker Alexander Isak received a place
The Arsenal forward is scheduled for additional medical tests in the coming days following concerns he sustained a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight win against the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' Champions League victory versus the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Returns
Isak, absent from action since late October owing to muscle issues, made the squad for the World Cup matches versus the Swiss team (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes feature in the England-based players selected under former multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
The English manager took over the Swedish federation originally on a short-term basis on 20 October, under a month following leaving by the Hammers
Previous manager the Danish coach was sacked following Sweden's 1-0 loss to Kosovo on 13 October, a result that ended automatic qualification from qualifying group impossible
Current Position
Sweden are currently last place of Group B with just a single point from four matches
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet be involved in the secondary qualification because of their performance during the previous UEFA competition
