Sweden Squad Reveal: Alexander Isak Selected Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out

Gunners striker the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's initial Swedish national team selection, while Reds forward the talented attacker received a place

The Arsenal forward is due to undergo further assessments this week amid fears he sustained a thigh issue in Arsenal's English top flight victory at the Clarets on Saturday

Gyokeres missed Arsenal' European win against the Czech side on Tuesday

Isak Returns

Isak, absent from action since late October owing to a groin injury, made the squad for World Cup qualifying fixtures versus Switzerland (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)

Additional England-based Call-ups

• Tottenham midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
• Magpies winger the Swedish international

Both athletes are among Potter's England-based contingent selected under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter

The New Manager's Hiring

The English manager took over the Swedish federation originally for an interim period in late October, less than a month after leaving by the Hammers

Former manager the Danish coach was fired following Sweden's defeat against the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome which rendered direct progression from Group B unattainable

Current Situation

Sweden find themselves bottom in Group B having only one point in four matches

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 in the most recent Nations League
