Sweden Team Reveal: Alexander Isak Named While Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
The striker signed with the Gunners from Sporting during the offseason
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted in Graham Potter's initial Sweden team selection, whereas Reds striker the talented attacker secured inclusion
The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo additional assessments in the coming days following concerns he suffered a muscle problem in Arsenal's Premier League win against the Clarets on Saturday
The 27-year-old sat out Arsenal' Champions League win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from late October owing to muscle issues, was selected for World Cup qualifying games versus Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional England-based Selections
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating after a head knock
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players were included in Potter's Premier League contingent chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach
Potter's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation first on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than four weeks after his departure from West Ham
Former manager the Danish coach was fired after the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that made direct progression from their World Cup group unattainable
Present Position
Sweden find themselves bottom of their qualifying group having just one point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet take part in the secondary qualification as a result of their results during the previous Nations League
