Sweden Team Lineup: Alexander Isak Named While Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
The striker signed with the Gunners from Sporting in July
Gunners forward the Swedish attacker was left out in the new manager's first Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured a place
The Arsenal forward is due for further examinations in the coming days amid concerns he sustained a thigh issue during the Gunners's Premier League triumph at the Clarets on Saturday
The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' Champions League success against the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since 22 October because of a groin problem, was selected for the World Cup fixtures versus the Swiss team (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Other England-based Selections
- Tottenham playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players are among Potter's England-based players selected under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
Potter was appointed by Sweden originally for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks after his departure by West Ham
Former manager the Danish coach lost his job after Sweden's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result that made direct progression from their World Cup group unattainable
Current Position
The Swedish team are currently last place of their qualifying group with just a single point in four matches
Should they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance during the previous Nations League
