Sweden Team Reveal: Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres moved to the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon in July
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut from the new manager's first Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received a place
The Arsenal forward is due for additional examinations this week amid fears of a muscle problem in the Gunners's Premier League triumph against the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' European success against the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Back in Action
Isak, absent from action from 22 October due to a groin injury, has been chosen to play in the World Cup fixtures versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
These players feature in the Premier League contingent named under former multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation first on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than a month following he was dismissed from West Ham
Former coach the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's 1-0 loss against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that made automatic qualification from Group B out of reach
Present Position
The Swedish team sit bottom in their qualifying group having just a single point in four matches
Even if they fail to finish second, there remains a chance they might be involved in the World Cup play-offs because of their performance during the previous Nations League
