Swedish Team Announcement: Alexander Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted

Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker was left out in Graham Potter's initial Sweden team selection, while Liverpool forward Alexander Isak has earned a place

Gyokeres is set to undergo more examinations in the coming days following worries of a muscle problem in the Gunners's English top flight victory at Burnley on Saturday

Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' European victory against Slavia Prague earlier this week

Alexander Isak Back in Action

Isak, who has been sidelined since late October due to muscle issues, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying games against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)

Additional Premier League Call-ups

• Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
• Magpies winger the Swedish international

These players are among the Premier League players selected under former multiple English clubs manager the new Swedish coach

Potter's Role

Potter was appointed the Swedish federation originally for an interim period in late October, less than a month after leaving by West Ham

Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job following the national team's setback against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that made straight qualification in qualifying group out of reach

Current Standing

The Swedish team sit last place in their qualifying group having just a single point in their opening four games

Even if they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result thanks to their showing during the previous UEFA competition
