Swedish Team Lineup: Alexander Isak Named While Gyokeres Omitted
The striker joined Arsenal after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out in the new manager's first Sweden squad, while Reds striker Alexander Isak received inclusion
The Arsenal forward is set for more medical tests this week amid fears of a thigh issue during Arsenal's Premier League triumph at the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres was absent from Arsenal' European victory against Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since 22 October because of a groin injury, has been chosen for the World Cup games versus Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Selections
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
These players were included in the England-based players selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
Potter's Role
The English manager was named by Sweden originally for an interim period in late October, under four weeks following his departure from West Ham
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after Sweden's defeat to the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result which rendered straight qualification from Group B out of reach
Current Situation
The Swedish team are currently last place in Group B with just a single point in four matches
Should they fail to finish second, they could still be involved in the World Cup play-offs due to thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
