Swedish Selection Lineup: Isak Named Whereas Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres moved to Arsenal from Sporting during the offseason
Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut from the new manager's first Swedish national squad, while Reds striker the talented attacker has earned inclusion
Gyokeres is set to undergo more assessments in the coming days amid concerns he sustained a hamstring injury in the Gunners's English top flight triumph at Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres was absent from the Gunners' Champions League win versus the Czech side earlier this week
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from late October due to a groin injury, was selected to play in the World Cup games versus Switzerland (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Selections
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering after a head knock
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes were included in Potter's Premier League contingent chosen by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation first temporarily in late October, under a month after his departure by the Hammers
Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job following Sweden's setback to Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that made straight qualification from Group B out of reach
Current Position
The Swedish team sit bottom of their qualifying group having only one point from their opening four games
Even if they fail to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification as a result of their results during the previous UEFA competition
