Swedish Squad Lineup: Isak Selected Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
The striker signed with the Gunners from Sporting Lisbon in July
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from the new manager's initial Swedish national squad, while Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received inclusion
The Arsenal forward is scheduled for further medical tests this week following fears he suffered a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight triumph at the Clarets last weekend
Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' Champions League success against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, absent from action from 22 October because of a groin problem, was selected to play in World Cup qualifying fixtures against the Swiss team (15 November) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
Both athletes were included in Potter's Premier League contingent selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation initially temporarily in late October, less than four weeks after leaving from the Hammers
Previous manager the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that made straight qualification in Group B impossible
Present Position
Sweden sit last place in their qualifying group having only one point in their opening four games
Should they fail to finish second, there remains a chance they might be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
