Sweden Squad Lineup: Alexander Isak Named Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting during the offseason
Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted from the new manager's first Swedish national team selection, while Reds striker Alexander Isak has earned a place
Gyokeres is due to undergo more assessments in the coming days amid worries of a thigh issue during the Gunners's Premier League triumph at Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres missed the Gunners' European success against the Czech side on Tuesday
Isak Back in Action
Isak, who hasn't featured from late October because of a groin problem, has been chosen to play in the World Cup games against Switzerland (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes are among the Premier League players selected under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
The New Manager's Role
Potter was appointed by Sweden originally temporarily in late October, less than four weeks after leaving from the Hammers
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after the national team's 1-0 loss to Kosovo in mid-October, a result that made direct progression from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Situation
Sweden are currently last place of their qualifying group with just a single point from their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might be involved in the secondary qualification because of their results during the previous Nations League
