Swedish Selection Lineup: Isak Named Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker signed with the Gunners from Sporting Lisbon in July
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out in the new manager's maiden Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool striker Alexander Isak secured selection
Gyokeres is set to undergo further medical tests in the coming days amid fears of a hamstring injury in Arsenal's Premier League triumph at the Clarets on Saturday
The 27-year-old sat out Arsenal' European victory against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from late October because of a groin injury, has been chosen to play in the World Cup games against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
These players are among the England-based players chosen under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter took over by Sweden initially for an interim period in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed by West Ham
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following Sweden's defeat to Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that ended direct progression from Group B impossible
Current Situation
Sweden sit bottom in their qualifying group having just one point from their opening four games
Even if they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they could still take part in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their results in the latest Nations League
