Sweden Squad Reveal: Isak Included While Gyokeres Misses Out
Viktor Gyokeres moved to Arsenal after leaving Sporting this summer
Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres fails to make the cut in Graham Potter's initial Swedish national squad, whereas Liverpool striker Alexander Isak secured a place

The 27-year-old missed the Gunners' European victory against Slavia Prague earlier this week
Alexander Isak Returns
Isak, who hasn't featured since 22 October owing to a groin injury, was selected for the World Cup matches versus the Swiss team (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes are among Potter's England-based players selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Role
Potter took over by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, under a month after his departure by the Hammers
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job following Sweden's setback against Kosovo on 13 October, a result which rendered direct progression from Group B unattainable
Present Standing
The Swedish team find themselves bottom in their qualifying group having just one point from four matches
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification due to of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
