Swedish Selection Announcement: Alexander Isak Selected While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners from Sporting Lisbon during the offseason
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out in the new manager's first Swedish national team selection, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker has earned a place
The Arsenal forward is scheduled for further assessments in the coming days following worries he sustained a muscle problem in the Gunners's English top flight win at Burnley on Saturday
The 27-year-old missed the Gunners' European victory against the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since late October owing to muscle issues, made the squad for World Cup qualifying games against the Swiss team (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from a head injury
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
These players are among Potter's Premier League contingent named under former multiple English clubs manager the new Swedish coach
Potter's Role
Potter was appointed by Sweden first for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks following his departure from West Ham
Former manager the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's defeat to Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification in qualifying group out of reach
Current Standing
The Swedish team find themselves last place of Group B with only one point from four matches
Even if they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification due to thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
