Swedish Team Reveal: Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from the new manager's first Sweden squad, while Liverpool striker Alexander Isak secured a place
Gyokeres is due to undergo additional examinations in the coming days amid concerns he sustained a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight win against the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' Champions League victory versus the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Returns
Isak, who hasn't featured since late October due to muscle issues, made the squad to play in World Cup qualifying matches versus the Swiss team (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, who is recovering after a head knock
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes feature in Potter's England-based contingent chosen under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach
Potter's Role
The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially temporarily in late October, under four weeks after his departure from West Ham
Former coach the Danish coach was sacked following the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that made straight qualification in Group B out of reach
Current Situation
The Swedish team sit bottom of their qualifying group having just one point from four matches
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the qualification playoffs as a result of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
