Gunners forward the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national team selection, while Liverpool forward the talented attacker received selection

The Arsenal forward is set to undergo additional medical tests this week amid concerns he sustained a muscle problem during the Gunners's English top flight victory against the Clarets last weekend

Gyokeres missed the Gunners' Champions League success against the Czech side earlier this week

Alexander Isak Returns

The Liverpool striker, absent from action from 22 October owing to a groin problem, was selected for World Cup qualifying matches versus the Swiss team (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Additional Premier League Selections

  • Spurs midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
  • Magpies winger the Swedish international

These players were included in Potter's Premier League contingent named under ex- multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter

Potter's Appointment

Potter was appointed by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, under four weeks following leaving by the Hammers

Former manager the Danish coach lost his job following the national team's setback against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result which rendered straight qualification in their World Cup group out of reach

Present Standing

The Swedish team are currently last place in Group B with only one point from their opening four games

Even if they fail to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the World Cup play-offs due to thanks to their showing during the previous UEFA competition
