Swedish Squad Announcement: Isak Named Whereas Viktor Gyokeres Excluded

Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted from Graham Potter's first Swedish national team selection, whereas Reds striker Alexander Isak received inclusion

The Arsenal forward is due to undergo additional medical tests this week amid concerns he sustained a hamstring injury in the Gunners's Premier League win against the Clarets on Saturday

The 27-year-old missed the Gunners' European success versus Slavia Prague earlier this week

Alexander Isak Makes Comeback

Isak, absent from action since late October due to a groin injury, made the squad to play in the World Cup games against Switzerland (15 November) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Additional Premier League Selections

• Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from a head injury
• Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga

Both athletes are among Potter's Premier League players chosen by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter

Potter's Appointment

Potter was named the Swedish federation first temporarily in late October, less than a month following he was dismissed by the Hammers

Previous manager the Danish coach lost his job following the national team's setback against the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that made straight qualification in qualifying group unattainable

Present Situation

Sweden are currently last place in Group B having only a single point in their opening four games

Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet participate in the World Cup play-offs because of their performance in the most recent UEFA competition
