Swedish Selection Reveal: Isak Included Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out

Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker has been omitted in the new manager's initial Sweden team selection, while Reds forward the talented attacker received selection

Gyokeres is due to undergo further assessments this week following worries he sustained a muscle problem in Arsenal's English top flight win at the Clarets last weekend

Gyokeres was absent from the Gunners' Champions League success against the Czech side earlier this week

Alexander Isak Back in Action

The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from late October due to a groin problem, was selected for World Cup qualifying games against the Swiss team (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Other England-based Call-ups

• Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
• Magpies winger the Swedish international

Both athletes were included in Potter's England-based contingent chosen under former multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter

The New Manager's Hiring

The English manager was named the Swedish federation initially for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks following his departure by West Ham

Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after Sweden's setback to Kosovo on 13 October, a result that ended automatic qualification in Group B impossible

Current Situation

Sweden find themselves last place in Group B having only one point from four matches

Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
