Sweden Selection Announcement: Isak Included Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Omitted
The striker moved to the Gunners from Sporting this summer
Gunners forward the Swedish attacker has been omitted from Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national squad, whereas Liverpool forward the talented attacker received inclusion
The Arsenal forward is scheduled for further medical tests in the coming days following fears of a hamstring injury during the Gunners's English top flight triumph against Burnley last weekend
The 27-year-old missed Arsenal' European win against the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since 22 October owing to a groin injury, made the squad for World Cup qualifying fixtures against Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
These players feature in the England-based players selected by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter
Potter's Role
The English manager took over by Sweden initially for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks after his departure from West Ham
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked after the national team's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable
Present Situation
The Swedish team find themselves last place in Group B with only a single point in four matches
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might be involved in the secondary qualification because of their results during the previous Nations League
