Swedish Selection Lineup: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres moved to the Gunners from Sporting Lisbon during the offseason
Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut in the new manager's first Swedish national squad, whereas Reds striker Alexander Isak has earned inclusion
The Arsenal forward is due to undergo more examinations this week amid concerns of a thigh issue during the Gunners's Premier League triumph at Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' European win versus the Czech side on Tuesday
Isak Back in Action
Isak, absent from action since late October due to muscle issues, made the squad for the World Cup matches versus Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes were included in Potter's England-based contingent chosen under former multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
The New Manager's Hiring
The English manager was named the Swedish federation first temporarily in late October, under a month after leaving from West Ham
Former boss the Danish coach was sacked following Sweden's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that ended automatic qualification in qualifying group impossible
Present Position
Sweden are currently bottom of their qualifying group having only a single point from their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the qualification playoffs as a result of their results during the previous Nations League
