Alexander Isak Back in Action

The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from 22 October owing to a groin injury, has been chosen to play in World Cup qualifying fixtures versus the Swiss team (15 November) plus Slovenia (18 November)

Other England-based Inclusions

  • Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, currently rehabilitating from concussion
  • Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga

Both athletes were included in Potter's England-based players named under ex- multiple English clubs boss the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Role

Potter was named the Swedish federation first temporarily on 20 October, under four weeks following he was dismissed from the Hammers

Previous coach the Danish coach was fired following the national team's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome which rendered straight qualification in qualifying group unattainable

Present Situation

The Swedish team sit last place of their qualifying group with just one point in their opening four games

Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet participate in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
