Sweden Team Announcement: Isak Selected Whereas Gyokeres Omitted
The striker joined the Gunners from Sporting during the offseason
Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker was left out in Graham Potter's first Sweden squad, while Liverpool striker the talented attacker received a place
Gyokeres is set for more examinations in the coming days following concerns he sustained a thigh issue during the Gunners's English top flight victory at Burnley last weekend
The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' Champions League win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Alexander Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from late October because of a groin injury, was selected to play in the World Cup fixtures against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
These players were included in the England-based contingent chosen by former multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter took over by Sweden originally on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed from West Ham
Former boss the Danish coach was fired after the national team's defeat to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification in their World Cup group impossible
Current Situation
Sweden find themselves last place of Group B having only one point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to finish second, there remains a chance they might take part in the World Cup play-offs as a result thanks to their showing in the most recent Nations League
