Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' European win versus Slavia Prague on Tuesday

Alexander Isak Back in Action

The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from 22 October because of a groin problem, made the squad to play in World Cup qualifying games versus Switzerland (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (November 18th)

Additional Premier League Selections

  • Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, working his way back from a head injury
  • Magpies wide player the Swedish international

Both athletes are among the England-based contingent selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Hiring

The English manager was appointed by Sweden initially for an interim period on 20 October, under a month after his departure from the Hammers

Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked after Sweden's defeat against Kosovo on 13 October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification from Group B impossible

Current Situation

The Swedish team are currently bottom in Group B with just a single point in their opening four games

Even if they fail to secure second place, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing during the previous UEFA competition
