Sweden Squad Reveal: Isak Included Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out

Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted in Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national team selection, while Reds striker the talented attacker secured selection

The Arsenal forward is scheduled for additional medical tests this week amid fears he suffered a hamstring injury in Arsenal's Premier League victory at Burnley last weekend

The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' Champions League success against the Czech side earlier this week

Alexander Isak Makes Comeback

The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from 22 October due to a groin problem, made the squad to play in the World Cup fixtures against the Swiss team (15 November) and Slovenia (18 November)

Additional England-based Selections

• Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
• Magpies winger Anthony Elanga

These players are among the England-based contingent chosen under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter

The New Manager's Appointment

The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially for an interim period on 20 October, under a month following his departure from the Hammers

Previous manager the Danish coach lost his job following the national team's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that made straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable

Current Position

Sweden sit bottom in their qualifying group having only one point from their opening four games

Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the qualification playoffs due to thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
