Swedish Team Reveal: Isak Selected Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's maiden Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received a place
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo further medical tests this week following concerns he sustained a muscle problem in the Gunners's English top flight victory against Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' Champions League win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from 22 October owing to a groin problem, made the squad to play in World Cup qualifying games versus Switzerland (15 November) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Other England-based Selections
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back after a head knock
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
These players are among Potter's Premier League players chosen by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
Potter was appointed by Sweden first temporarily in late October, under four weeks after his departure by West Ham
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked after Sweden's setback against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result that ended automatic qualification in Group B unattainable
Present Situation
Sweden sit bottom of their qualifying group with just one point in four matches
Even if they don't manage to finish second, they could still participate in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their results during the previous Nations League
