Sweden Team Announcement: Isak Selected Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted from Graham Potter's first Swedish national squad, whereas Reds striker Alexander Isak secured selection
The Arsenal forward is scheduled for further assessments this week amid worries he suffered a muscle problem during the Gunners's Premier League win against the Clarets last weekend
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' European win against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Returns
Isak, who hasn't featured since late October because of muscle issues, has been chosen for the World Cup matches against Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Other England-based Selections
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back after a head knock
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes feature in the Premier League players selected under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter took over by Sweden initially temporarily in late October, under a month following leaving by the Hammers
Former boss the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that made straight qualification in their World Cup group out of reach
Current Situation
Sweden sit bottom in their qualifying group having just one point in four matches
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result thanks to their showing in the most recent Nations League
