Sweden Squad Reveal: Isak Included While Gyokeres Omitted
The striker joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon during the offseason
Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from Graham Potter's initial Sweden squad, while Reds striker the talented attacker has earned inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo further assessments in the coming days amid concerns of a muscle problem during the Gunners's English top flight win against the Clarets last weekend
The 27-year-old missed the Gunners' European success versus the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from late October due to a groin injury, made the squad for World Cup qualifying matches against the Swiss team (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes feature in the England-based contingent chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
Potter's Appointment
The English manager was named the Swedish federation first temporarily in late October, less than a month following he was dismissed by West Ham
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after Sweden's setback against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result which rendered direct progression from qualifying group unattainable
Current Standing
Sweden find themselves last place in Group B having just one point from their opening four games
Should they fail to finish second, they could still be involved in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their performance in the most recent UEFA competition
