Swedish Selection Announcement: Alexander Isak Included While Viktor Gyokeres Misses Out
The striker joined the Gunners from Sporting in July
Arsenal forward the Swedish attacker was left out from the new manager's first Swedish national team selection, whereas Liverpool forward the talented attacker received inclusion
The Arsenal forward is scheduled for further medical tests in the coming days following fears he suffered a muscle problem in the Gunners's Premier League triumph against the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres was absent from Arsenal' Champions League success against Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since late October because of a groin injury, was selected for the World Cup games against Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Selections
- Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from a head injury
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes feature in the Premier League players selected by former multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
The New Manager's Hiring
The English manager was named by Sweden first temporarily in late October, less than four weeks following leaving by West Ham
Previous coach the Danish coach was fired after the national team's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result that made automatic qualification from their World Cup group out of reach
Present Position
The Swedish team find themselves bottom in Group B having only one point from their opening four games
Even if they don't manage to finish second, there remains a chance they might participate in the World Cup play-offs because of their results in the latest UEFA competition
