Swedish Squad Announcement: Alexander Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded

Gunners striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted in the new manager's maiden Sweden squad, while Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured selection

The Arsenal forward is due for further examinations in the coming days following fears he suffered a hamstring injury in the Gunners's English top flight victory against the Clarets last weekend

Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' Champions League success against the Czech side on Tuesday

Isak Back in Action

Isak, absent from action since 22 October due to a groin problem, was selected for World Cup qualifying games versus Switzerland (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)

Additional Premier League Selections

• Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
• Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga

These players are among the England-based contingent named by ex- multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter

Potter's Role

The English manager took over the Swedish federation originally on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed by the Hammers

Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked after Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that made automatic qualification in their World Cup group impossible

Present Situation

Sweden find themselves last place of their qualifying group having just one point in their opening four games

Should they don't manage to secure second place, they could still participate in the World Cup play-offs because of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
