Sweden Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
The striker joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon in July
Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker was left out from Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national squad, whereas Reds striker the talented attacker secured inclusion
The Arsenal forward is set to undergo additional assessments this week amid worries he sustained a hamstring injury in the Gunners's English top flight triumph at Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' European win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Returns
Isak, who hasn't featured since late October due to a groin injury, has been chosen for the World Cup games against the Swiss team (15 November) and Slovenia (18 November)
Other England-based Selections
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes were included in Potter's England-based contingent named by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
Potter's Hiring
Potter was named the Swedish federation first on a short-term basis on 20 October, under four weeks following his departure by West Ham
Previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following Sweden's defeat against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result that ended straight qualification from qualifying group out of reach
Current Position
Sweden are currently bottom of their qualifying group having just a single point from four matches
Even if they fail to secure second place, they may yet be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
