Swedish Squad Reveal: Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners from Sporting this summer
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted in Graham Potter's initial Sweden team selection, while Reds forward Alexander Isak secured selection
Gyokeres is scheduled for further assessments this week amid concerns of a muscle problem in Arsenal's Premier League victory against the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres missed the Gunners' European success against the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from 22 October due to a groin problem, was selected for World Cup qualifying games against Switzerland (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Additional England-based Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes feature in Potter's Premier League players chosen by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Role
The English manager took over by Sweden first temporarily in late October, under four weeks after he was dismissed by the Hammers
Former manager the Danish coach was fired after the national team's setback against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result that ended direct progression from Group B out of reach
Current Standing
The Swedish team sit bottom in Group B with just one point in four matches
Even if they don't manage to finish second, they may yet be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result of their performance in the most recent Nations League
