Sweden Selection Announcement: Alexander Isak Named While Gyokeres Omitted
Viktor Gyokeres signed with Arsenal after leaving Sporting during the offseason
Gunners striker the Swedish attacker fails to make the cut from Graham Potter's initial Sweden squad, while Reds forward the talented attacker received inclusion
Gyokeres is scheduled to undergo more examinations in the coming days following concerns of a muscle problem during Arsenal's Premier League triumph against the Clarets on Saturday
The 27-year-old missed the Gunners' European victory versus the Czech side earlier this week
Isak Returns
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured since late October because of a groin injury, made the squad for the World Cup fixtures versus Switzerland (15 November) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Other Premier League Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes were included in the Premier League players selected by former multiple English clubs coach the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Role
The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation first temporarily in late October, less than four weeks after leaving by West Ham
Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following the national team's defeat to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered direct progression from Group B impossible
Present Standing
Sweden are currently bottom of their qualifying group having just one point from four matches
Should they don't manage to finish second, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification because of their performance during the previous Nations League
