Sweden Team Lineup: Isak Named While Gyokeres Excluded
The striker joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting in July
Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out in the new manager's maiden Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured selection
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo more assessments this week amid fears he suffered a muscle problem during the Gunners's English top flight victory against Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' European success against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined since late October because of a groin problem, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying games versus the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes are among Potter's Premier League contingent named by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
Potter's Role
The English manager took over the Swedish federation first temporarily on 20 October, less than a month following leaving by West Ham
Former manager the Danish coach was fired after the national team's defeat to Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that made direct progression from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Situation
The Swedish team sit bottom in Group B with only one point from their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they may yet participate in the World Cup play-offs as a result thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
