Swedish Squad Announcement: Isak Selected Whereas Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting this summer
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker was left out in Graham Potter's maiden Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured inclusion
The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo more assessments this week following fears he suffered a thigh issue in the Gunners's English top flight triumph at the Clarets last weekend
The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' Champions League victory versus Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Isak Back in Action
Isak, absent from action from late October because of muscle issues, has been chosen for the World Cup matches versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes were included in the Premier League contingent selected under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation initially temporarily on 20 October, under a month after leaving by the Hammers
Previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification from Group B unattainable
Current Standing
The Swedish team sit last place in Group B with just one point from four matches
Should they fail to finish second, they may yet be involved in the qualification playoffs because of their performance during the previous UEFA competition
