Swedish Squad Lineup: Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres moved to Arsenal after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from the new manager's initial Swedish national team selection, while Liverpool forward the talented attacker secured inclusion
The Arsenal forward is set to undergo more medical tests in the coming days amid fears he sustained a hamstring injury during the Gunners's English top flight victory against Burnley on Saturday
The 27-year-old sat out Arsenal' European victory versus the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
Isak, who hasn't featured since 22 October because of a groin problem, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying games against Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, working his way back from a head injury
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes are among the England-based players selected under ex- multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
Potter's Role
Potter took over the Swedish federation initially for an interim period in late October, under a month following leaving from West Ham
Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following the national team's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that made direct progression in qualifying group impossible
Present Position
The Swedish team find themselves bottom of Group B with only one point in four matches
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might be involved in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance in the latest Nations League
