Swedish Selection Announcement: Alexander Isak Selected While Gyokeres Misses Out

Gyokeres was absent from Arsenal' European win against Slavia Prague on Tuesday

Isak Back in Action

Isak, who hasn't featured from late October due to a groin injury, made the squad to play in the World Cup fixtures against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)

Additional Premier League Call-ups

• Tottenham playmaker the young talent, working his way back from concussion
• Magpies winger Anthony Elanga

These players are among Potter's Premier League players chosen by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Hiring

The English manager was appointed by Sweden first for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks following his departure from West Ham

Former boss the Danish coach was sacked following the national team's setback against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result which rendered straight qualification in qualifying group impossible

Present Situation

The Swedish team are currently last place of Group B having only a single point in four matches

Should they don't manage to secure second place, they could still take part in the qualification playoffs due to of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
