Sweden Squad Announcement: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Omitted

Arsenal striker Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's first Swedish national squad, whereas Liverpool striker Alexander Isak has earned inclusion

The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo more assessments this week amid worries he suffered a thigh issue during Arsenal's Premier League win against Burnley on Saturday

Gyokeres sat out the Gunners' European win versus the Czech side on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Returns

Isak, absent from action since 22 October because of a groin problem, was selected to play in the World Cup matches against the Swiss team (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Other Premier League Call-ups

• Spurs playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
• Newcastle wide player the Swedish international

Both athletes were included in the Premier League players selected by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter

The New Manager's Hiring

The English manager was appointed by Sweden first temporarily on 20 October, less than four weeks following leaving by West Ham

Previous boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after Sweden's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result that ended automatic qualification from qualifying group impossible

Current Position

The Swedish team are currently bottom of Group B having just one point in four matches

Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they could still be involved in the qualification playoffs because of their performance during the previous UEFA competition
