Sweden Selection Announcement: Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon in July
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut from the new manager's first Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker received selection
Gyokeres is set for more assessments this week following fears of a muscle problem during the Gunners's English top flight triumph at the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' European win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Alexander Isak Back in Action
Isak, who hasn't featured from 22 October because of a groin problem, made the squad to play in the World Cup fixtures versus Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, working his way back after a head knock
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes feature in Potter's England-based contingent named by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
Potter's Role
The English manager was named the Swedish federation initially on a short-term basis in late October, under a month after his departure by the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following the national team's defeat to Kosovo on 13 October, a result which rendered straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable
Present Position
Sweden find themselves last place in Group B with just a single point in four matches
Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet take part in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing during the previous UEFA competition
