Alexander Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, who hasn't featured from late October because of muscle issues, made the squad for the World Cup fixtures against the Swiss team (November 15th) plus the Slovenian side (18 November)
Additional Premier League Inclusions
- Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, working his way back after a head knock
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
These players are among Potter's England-based players named by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
The English manager was named by Sweden first for an interim period on 20 October, under a month following he was dismissed by the Hammers
Previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job following the national team's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result that made automatic qualification in their World Cup group unattainable
Present Position
Sweden are currently last place of Group B with only a single point in their opening four games
Even if they fail to secure second place, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification because of their results during the previous UEFA competition
