Sweden Team Reveal: Alexander Isak Included While Gyokeres Excluded

Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted from the new manager's initial Sweden squad, while Reds forward Alexander Isak secured selection

Gyokeres is set to undergo more examinations in the coming days following worries of a thigh issue during Arsenal's Premier League win at the Clarets on Saturday

The 27-year-old missed the Gunners' Champions League success against Slavia Prague on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Makes Comeback

Isak, who has been sidelined since late October due to a groin injury, was selected to play in the World Cup games against Switzerland (November 15th) plus Slovenia (18 November)

Additional England-based Selections

• Tottenham midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from concussion
• Magpies wide player the Swedish international

These players were included in Potter's Premier League contingent selected under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Role

The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation originally temporarily in late October, less than a month after he was dismissed by the Hammers

Former coach the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome which rendered direct progression in their World Cup group impossible

Present Situation

Sweden find themselves bottom of their qualifying group having only a single point in their opening four games

Even if they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result of their results in the latest UEFA competition
