Swedish Team Announcement: Alexander Isak Named While Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres signed with the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut from Graham Potter's initial Sweden squad, while Reds forward Alexander Isak secured selection
The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo further examinations this week following concerns he suffered a hamstring injury in Arsenal's English top flight win at Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' European win versus the Czech side on Tuesday
Isak Back in Action
Isak, absent from action from late October because of muscle issues, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying games versus Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
These players were included in the England-based players named by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter took over by Sweden first for an interim period in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed by the Hammers
Previous boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after the national team's setback against the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable
Present Position
Sweden sit last place of their qualifying group having only one point from 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
