Swedish Selection Announcement: Isak Included Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded
Viktor Gyokeres joined Arsenal from Sporting this summer
Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres was left out in Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national squad, whereas Reds forward the talented attacker secured inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo further assessments in the coming days following worries of a thigh issue during the Gunners's Premier League victory at Burnley last weekend
Gyokeres was absent from Arsenal' European success against the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Returns
Isak, who has been sidelined since 22 October because of muscle issues, was selected to play in World Cup qualifying matches against the Swiss team (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Other England-based Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating after a head knock
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
These players were included in the Premier League players named by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
The English manager took over the Swedish federation initially for an interim period on 20 October, under a month following leaving by the Hammers
Former manager the Danish coach lost his job following the national team's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered automatic qualification from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Position
Sweden sit bottom in Group B having just one point in their opening four games
Should they fail to finish second, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
