Viktor Gyokeres signed with the Gunners after leaving Sporting Lisbon during the offseason

Arsenal striker the Swedish attacker was left out in the new manager's initial Sweden team selection, whereas Liverpool forward the talented attacker secured inclusion

The Arsenal forward is due for further assessments in the coming days following concerns he suffered a thigh issue during the Gunners's Premier League triumph at Burnley on Saturday

The 27-year-old missed Arsenal' European success versus the Czech side earlier this week

Isak Back in Action

Isak, who hasn't featured from 22 October because of muscle issues, was selected to play in the World Cup fixtures versus the Swiss team (November 15th) plus Slovenia (18 November)

Other England-based Call-ups

  • Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
  • Newcastle wide player the Swedish international

Both athletes feature in Potter's England-based contingent selected by ex- multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter

The New Manager's Appointment

Potter was named the Swedish federation initially on a short-term basis in late October, under a month after his departure from West Ham

Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following the national team's 1-0 loss to Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that ended straight qualification from qualifying group impossible

Current Standing

Sweden find themselves bottom in Group B having only one point in four matches

Even if they fail to secure second place, they could still participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their results during the previous Nations League
