Sweden Selection Reveal: Alexander Isak Included While Gyokeres Excluded

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out from Graham Potter's first Swedish national team selection, whereas Reds striker Alexander Isak received selection

The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo more medical tests in the coming days following fears of a hamstring injury during Arsenal's Premier League win against Burnley last weekend

Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' Champions League win versus the Czech side earlier this week

Alexander Isak Makes Comeback

The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from 22 October due to a groin injury, was selected to play in the World Cup games against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Additional England-based Inclusions

• Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
• Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga

These players are among the England-based players named by former multiple English clubs boss the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Hiring

Potter was appointed the Swedish federation initially on a short-term basis in late October, under four weeks after he was dismissed from West Ham

Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after Sweden's setback against Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that ended straight qualification in Group B out of reach

Present Standing

Sweden are currently last place of Group B with just a single point from four matches

Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they could still participate in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing during the previous UEFA competition
