Gyokeres was absent from the Gunners' Champions League victory against the Czech side on Tuesday
Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, who has been sidelined since 22 October because of a groin problem, made the squad for the World Cup games versus Switzerland (November 15th) plus Slovenia (18 November)
Other Premier League Selections
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
These players feature in the Premier League players selected by ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially on a short-term basis in late October, under a month following his departure from the Hammers
Former coach the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's 1-0 loss against Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome that made automatic qualification in Group B impossible
Present Position
Sweden sit last place in their qualifying group with just one point from their opening four games
Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet participate in the World Cup play-offs because of their performance during the previous Nations League
