Sweden Selection Announcement: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres moved to the Gunners from Sporting in July
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres was left out from Graham Potter's maiden Sweden squad, while Reds striker Alexander Isak has earned a place
Gyokeres is due for further examinations in the coming days following fears he sustained a thigh issue during the Gunners's English top flight triumph against the Clarets last weekend
The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' European success versus the Czech side on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, absent from action from late October due to a groin injury, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying fixtures versus Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Other England-based Call-ups
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
- Newcastle wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes feature in Potter's England-based contingent selected under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
The English manager took over by Sweden initially on a short-term basis in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed from the Hammers
Previous manager the Danish coach lost his job after the national team's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that made direct progression from Group B unattainable
Current Situation
The Swedish team are currently last place of their qualifying group with just a single point in their opening four games
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they could still take part in the World Cup play-offs because of their results in the latest Nations League
