Sweden Squad Reveal: Isak Selected While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres signed with the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon during the offseason
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from the new manager's first Sweden squad, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak has earned inclusion
The Arsenal forward is set for additional assessments in the coming days following concerns of a hamstring injury during the Gunners's Premier League win against Burnley on Saturday
The 27-year-old missed Arsenal' European success against the Czech side on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Back in Action
Isak, absent from action from 22 October due to muscle issues, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying fixtures against Switzerland (15 November) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
These players were included in Potter's Premier League contingent named by ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
The New Manager's Role
Potter took over by Sweden first on a short-term basis in late October, less than a month following leaving by the Hammers
Previous manager the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that made direct progression from qualifying group unattainable
Current Position
The Swedish team sit bottom in their qualifying group with only one point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they could still participate in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their performance in the most recent Nations League
