Swedish Selection Reveal: Alexander Isak Selected Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres joined Arsenal after leaving Sporting this summer
Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres was left out from the new manager's initial Sweden team selection, while Reds striker the talented attacker has earned inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo further assessments this week following fears he sustained a thigh issue in the Gunners's Premier League win against the Clarets last weekend
The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' European success versus Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, who has been sidelined since 22 October because of a groin injury, has been chosen to play in the World Cup matches against the Swiss team (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional England-based Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering after a head knock
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
These players are among Potter's Premier League contingent selected under former multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
The English manager was named by Sweden first temporarily in late October, under four weeks following leaving by West Ham
Former coach the Danish coach lost his job following the national team's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome which rendered direct progression from their World Cup group impossible
Current Position
Sweden find themselves bottom of Group B with only one point from four matches
Should they fail to finish second, they may yet participate in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing during the previous Nations League
