Sweden Squad Reveal: Alexander Isak Named Whereas Gyokeres Omitted
The striker moved to Arsenal after leaving Sporting during the offseason
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from Graham Potter's initial Swedish national team selection, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured a place
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo additional assessments this week amid fears he sustained a thigh issue in Arsenal's English top flight win at Burnley on Saturday
The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' Champions League win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, absent from action from 22 October owing to a groin problem, made the squad for the World Cup matches versus Switzerland (November 15th) and Slovenia (18 November)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes are among Potter's England-based contingent chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
Potter was appointed by Sweden initially for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks following leaving by the Hammers
Former boss the Danish coach was fired following Sweden's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result which rendered direct progression in qualifying group out of reach
Present Situation
Sweden find themselves last place of Group B with just 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 secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing in the most recent Nations League
