Sweden Squad Reveal: Isak Named Whereas Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal after leaving Sporting Lisbon in July
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted in the new manager's first Sweden team selection, while Reds forward Alexander Isak secured a place
Gyokeres is set to undergo further assessments this week amid worries he sustained a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight triumph against Burnley last weekend
The 27-year-old sat out Arsenal' European win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since 22 October owing to a groin problem, has been chosen for the World Cup fixtures versus the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes feature in the Premier League contingent selected by former multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
The English manager was named by Sweden first for an interim period in late October, under a month following leaving from the Hammers
Previous coach the Danish coach was sacked following Sweden's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, a result that ended automatic qualification in qualifying group out of reach
Current Situation
Sweden are currently last place of their qualifying group with only a single point from their opening four games
Even if they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might participate in the World Cup play-offs because of their performance during the previous UEFA competition
