Sweden Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Named While Gyokeres Omitted

Gunners forward the Swedish attacker has been omitted in the new manager's initial Swedish national squad, while Reds striker the talented attacker received inclusion

Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo additional assessments in the coming days following concerns he suffered a thigh issue during Arsenal's Premier League win against the Clarets last weekend

The 27-year-old sat out Arsenal' Champions League success versus Slavia Prague earlier this week

Isak Back in Action

Isak, who has been sidelined since 22 October due to a groin injury, has been chosen for the World Cup games against the Swiss team (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)

Other England-based Inclusions

• Tottenham midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
• Newcastle winger the Swedish international

Both athletes feature in Potter's England-based players chosen under ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter

The New Manager's Hiring

Potter was named by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, less than four weeks after he was dismissed from West Ham

Former manager the Danish coach lost his job after the national team's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that made straight qualification in their World Cup group out of reach

Current Situation

The Swedish team are currently last place in Group B having just one point in four matches

Even if they don't manage to finish second, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification due to of their performance during the previous Nations League
