Sweden Team Announcement: Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon this summer
Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut from the new manager's first Sweden team selection, whereas Reds forward the talented attacker secured selection
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo further assessments this week amid concerns he sustained a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight triumph at Burnley on Saturday
Gyokeres missed Arsenal' European victory versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, who hasn't featured since late October due to a groin problem, has been chosen for the World Cup games against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham playmaker Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
Both athletes were included in Potter's England-based contingent chosen by ex- multiple English clubs boss the new Swedish coach
Potter's Appointment
Potter took over the Swedish federation originally for an interim period on 20 October, less than four weeks after leaving from the Hammers
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after Sweden's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification from Group B out of reach
Present Position
Sweden sit last place in Group B having only one point from four matches
Even if they don't manage to finish second, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification due to thanks to their showing during the previous Nations League
