Sweden Selection Reveal: Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out

Arsenal forward Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted from Graham Potter's first Sweden team selection, while Liverpool forward the talented attacker has earned a place

Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo additional assessments in the coming days following worries he sustained a hamstring injury during the Gunners's English top flight win against the Clarets last weekend

Gyokeres missed the Gunners' Champions League success against the Czech side on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Returns

Isak, absent from action since 22 October due to muscle issues, has been chosen to play in the World Cup fixtures versus Switzerland (November 15th) plus Slovenia (18 November)

Other England-based Selections

• Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from concussion
• Magpies wide player the Swedish international

Both athletes are among the Premier League players named under former multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter

Potter's Hiring

Potter was named by Sweden initially temporarily on 20 October, less than a month after he was dismissed from West Ham

Previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered automatic qualification in qualifying group out of reach

Present Position

The Swedish team sit last place in their qualifying group with only a single point from their opening four games

Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they could still participate in the qualification playoffs as a result of their results during the previous UEFA competition
