Gunners forward Viktor Gyokeres has been omitted in Graham Potter's first Swedish national squad, whereas Reds forward the talented attacker has earned a place

Gyokeres is due for further assessments in the coming days following worries he suffered a muscle problem during Arsenal's English top flight triumph at Burnley on Saturday

The 27-year-old missed Arsenal' European victory against Slavia Prague earlier this week

Isak Makes Comeback

The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined since late October because of a groin injury, made the squad for the World Cup games versus Switzerland (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Other England-based Call-ups

• Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from concussion
• Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga

These players were included in the Premier League players named by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach

Potter's Hiring

Potter took over by Sweden first temporarily on 20 October, less than a month after leaving by the Hammers

Former coach the Danish coach was sacked following the national team's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that made straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable

Present Position

The Swedish team are currently last place in Group B having just one point from four matches

Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet take part in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their results in the most recent Nations League
