Swedish Team Lineup: Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres joined Arsenal after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted from the new manager's maiden Swedish national team selection, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak has earned a place
The Arsenal forward is due for further assessments in the coming days amid fears he suffered a hamstring injury in the Gunners's Premier League triumph against the Clarets last weekend
The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' Champions League victory versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Returns
Isak, who has been sidelined since 22 October because of a groin problem, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying games against Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Other England-based Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players feature in Potter's England-based players named by former multiple English clubs manager the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than four weeks after he was dismissed by West Ham
Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that ended direct progression in qualifying group out of reach
Current Standing
Sweden sit bottom of their qualifying group having only one point from four matches
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
