Swedish Selection Reveal: Alexander Isak Included While Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners from Sporting this summer
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from Graham Potter's maiden Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received inclusion
Gyokeres is due to undergo additional examinations this week amid worries of a hamstring injury during Arsenal's Premier League triumph against Burnley on Saturday
The 27-year-old missed Arsenal' Champions League success against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, absent from action from late October due to a groin problem, was selected for World Cup qualifying games versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, who is recovering after a head knock
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes were included in the Premier League contingent chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter
Potter's Role
The English manager was named by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, less than a month following his departure by West Ham
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job following Sweden's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result that made direct progression in qualifying group unattainable
Present Situation
The Swedish team find themselves last place in Group B with just a single point from four matches
Even if they fail to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification because of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
