Gunners striker the Swedish attacker has been omitted in the new manager's maiden Sweden squad, while Liverpool forward Alexander Isak has earned a place

Gyokeres is set for additional examinations this week following concerns he suffered a muscle problem during the Gunners's English top flight triumph at Burnley last weekend

Gyokeres missed the Gunners' European victory versus the Czech side earlier this week

Isak Back in Action

The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from late October owing to muscle issues, made the squad for the World Cup fixtures versus the Swiss team (November 15th) and Slovenia (18 November)

Additional England-based Selections

  • Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, working his way back from concussion
  • Magpies winger the Swedish international

These players were included in Potter's Premier League contingent chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Hiring

The English manager was appointed by Sweden first on a short-term basis on 20 October, under a month following his departure from the Hammers

Former coach the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's defeat against Kosovo in mid-October, a result which rendered automatic qualification in qualifying group impossible

Current Position

The Swedish team find themselves bottom in their qualifying group with just a single point from their opening four games

Should they don't manage to finish second, they may yet participate in the secondary qualification because of their performance during the previous Nations League
