Sweden Selection Announcement: Alexander Isak Selected While Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners from Sporting in July
Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted in the new manager's first Swedish national team selection, while Reds forward Alexander Isak has earned inclusion
Gyokeres is set to undergo further examinations this week following concerns of a hamstring injury during the Gunners's Premier League win against Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' European victory against the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since 22 October because of muscle issues, made the squad to play in World Cup qualifying games against Switzerland (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional England-based Selections
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Newcastle wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes are among Potter's England-based contingent named by ex- multiple English clubs coach the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Role
Potter was named the Swedish federation first on a short-term basis in late October, under a month following his departure by the Hammers
Former boss the Danish coach lost his job following the national team's defeat against Kosovo in mid-October, a result that made automatic qualification in qualifying group impossible
Present Position
Sweden are currently bottom in Group B with just one point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to finish second, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification because of their performance in the most recent Nations League
