Swedish Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres moved to Arsenal after leaving Sporting this summer
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from Graham Potter's first Sweden squad, whereas Reds forward the talented attacker secured inclusion
The Arsenal forward is set to undergo additional examinations this week following concerns he suffered a muscle problem during Arsenal's Premier League triumph against the Clarets last weekend
Gyokeres was absent from the Gunners' European win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Returns
Isak, absent from action from late October because of a groin problem, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying fixtures against the Swiss team (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Other England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, who is recovering after a head knock
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
Both athletes are among the England-based contingent named under former multiple English clubs coach the new Swedish coach
Potter's Role
The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially temporarily in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed from West Ham
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after the national team's 1-0 loss to Kosovo in mid-October, a result that made straight qualification in qualifying group impossible
Current Position
Sweden find themselves last place in Group B having just one point from their opening four games
Even if they fail to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification because of their results in the latest UEFA competition
