Swedish Team Lineup: Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres moved to Arsenal from Sporting Lisbon in July
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from the new manager's maiden Sweden team selection, whereas Reds forward Alexander Isak received a place
The Arsenal forward is due to undergo further examinations this week following fears he suffered a muscle problem during Arsenal's Premier League win against Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres missed the Gunners' Champions League success against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from 22 October due to muscle issues, was selected for World Cup qualifying games versus Switzerland (15 November) and Slovenia (18 November)
Additional England-based Call-ups
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes feature in Potter's Premier League players selected by former multiple English clubs manager the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was appointed by Sweden initially temporarily on 20 October, less than a month after he was dismissed by the Hammers
Previous boss Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after the national team's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result that made direct progression in their World Cup group unattainable
Present Standing
Sweden sit bottom in Group B having just a single point in four matches
Should they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their results in the most recent Nations League
