Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' European success against the Czech side on Tuesday
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who has been sidelined from 22 October owing to muscle issues, has been chosen to play in the World Cup games versus the Swiss team (November 15th) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional England-based Selections
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
These players feature in the Premier League contingent chosen by ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation originally for an interim period in late October, under a month following he was dismissed from the Hammers
Previous boss the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered direct progression from Group B unattainable
Present Situation
Sweden are currently bottom in Group B having only one point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they could still take part in the World Cup play-offs due to thanks to their showing in the most recent Nations League
