Swedish Team Reveal: Isak Selected While Gyokeres Excluded

Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres was left out in Graham Potter's initial Swedish national team selection, while Liverpool striker Alexander Isak received selection

The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo further medical tests in the coming days amid concerns of a muscle problem during Arsenal's Premier League triumph at the Clarets on Saturday

The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' Champions League victory versus the Czech side on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Returns

The Liverpool striker, absent from action since late October due to a groin injury, has been chosen for the World Cup games against Switzerland (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Additional Premier League Selections

• Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
• Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga

Both athletes were included in Potter's England-based players named under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter

The New Manager's Role

The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially on a short-term basis in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed by West Ham

Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that ended direct progression in their World Cup group impossible

Present Situation

The Swedish team are currently last place in Group B having just a single point in their opening four games

Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
