Swedish Squad Lineup: Isak Named While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted

Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker was left out from Graham Potter's first Sweden team selection, whereas Reds forward the talented attacker secured inclusion

The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo additional assessments in the coming days following fears he sustained a muscle problem during the Gunners's English top flight victory against the Clarets on Saturday

Gyokeres was absent from Arsenal' European win against Slavia Prague on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Back in Action

The Liverpool striker, absent from action since late October because of a groin injury, has been chosen to play in the World Cup games versus Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)

Other Premier League Selections

• Spurs midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating after a head knock
• Newcastle winger the Swedish international

These players are among Potter's England-based contingent named by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter

Potter's Role

The English manager was named by Sweden originally temporarily in late October, under four weeks following leaving from West Ham

Previous boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following the national team's setback to Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome which rendered direct progression in Group B out of reach

Current Situation

Sweden are currently bottom in their qualifying group with only a single point in their opening four games

Even if they don't manage to finish second, they may yet take part in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing during the previous Nations League
