Sweden Squad Lineup: Alexander Isak Included Whereas Gyokeres Omitted

Gunners forward the Swedish attacker was left out from the new manager's first Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool striker the talented attacker secured a place

The Arsenal forward is scheduled to undergo more assessments in the coming days following worries he suffered a muscle problem during Arsenal's Premier League win at the Clarets on Saturday

The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' European success versus Slavia Prague earlier this week

Alexander Isak Returns

Isak, who has been sidelined since late October due to a groin injury, was selected to play in World Cup qualifying matches versus Switzerland (November 15th) and Slovenia (18 November)

Other Premier League Inclusions

• Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating after a head knock
• Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga

Both athletes are among the Premier League contingent selected under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss Graham Potter

The New Manager's Role

The English manager was appointed by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, under four weeks following his departure by the Hammers

Former boss the Danish coach was sacked following Sweden's defeat to Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that ended straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable

Present Situation

The Swedish team are currently bottom in Group B having only one point from their opening four games

Should they fail to secure second place, they could still be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result of their performance in the latest Nations League
