Sweden Squad Lineup: Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded

Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker was left out in Graham Potter's maiden Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool forward the talented attacker has earned selection

Gyokeres is scheduled for more medical tests this week following concerns he sustained a thigh issue during the Gunners's English top flight triumph at the Clarets last weekend

Gyokeres was absent from the Gunners' European win versus the Czech side earlier this week

Isak Makes Comeback

Isak, who has been sidelined since 22 October due to a groin injury, has been chosen to play in the World Cup games versus Switzerland (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Additional Premier League Selections

• Tottenham playmaker the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
• Newcastle wide player the Swedish international

Both athletes were included in the Premier League contingent chosen under former multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter

Potter's Appointment

Potter was appointed by Sweden first temporarily on 20 October, less than four weeks after his departure from the Hammers

Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked after the national team's 1-0 loss to Kosovo in mid-October, a result which rendered straight qualification in Group B unattainable

Current Standing

Sweden sit last place in Group B with just one point in their opening four games

Even if they don't manage to finish second, they may yet be involved in the secondary qualification due to thanks to their showing in the most recent Nations League
