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

The Arsenal forward is set to undergo additional examinations this week amid concerns of a muscle problem in the Gunners's Premier League triumph at the Clarets last weekend

The 27-year-old missed Arsenal' European success against the Czech side on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Makes Comeback

Isak, who has been sidelined from late October due to muscle issues, has been chosen to play in the World Cup games against Switzerland (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)

Other Premier League Selections

  • Tottenham playmaker the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
  • Magpies winger Anthony Elanga

Both athletes are among Potter's Premier League contingent selected by former multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter

The New Manager's Hiring

The English manager was named the Swedish federation originally temporarily in late October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed by West Ham

Former manager the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result that ended straight qualification in qualifying group unattainable

Present Position

The Swedish team find themselves last place in Group B with just one point from their opening four games

Should they don't manage to finish second, they may yet take part in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance in the latest Nations League
