Swedish Team Lineup: Alexander Isak Named While Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting in July
Gunners striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's maiden Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool striker Alexander Isak received a place
Gyokeres is set to undergo additional medical tests this week following concerns of a muscle problem in the Gunners's Premier League victory against the Clarets on Saturday
The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' Champions League success versus Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Isak Returns
Isak, who hasn't featured from 22 October due to muscle issues, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying games versus Switzerland (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from concussion
- Newcastle wide player the Swedish international
These players feature in Potter's England-based players selected under ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
Potter was named by Sweden initially for an interim period in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed from West Ham
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after Sweden's setback against the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that ended straight qualification in their World Cup group impossible
Present Situation
The Swedish team are currently bottom in their qualifying group having only a single point in their opening four games
Even if they fail to finish second, they could still take part in the qualification playoffs as a result of their performance during the previous Nations League
