Alexander Isak Returns
Isak, who has been sidelined since late October due to a groin injury, was selected for World Cup qualifying fixtures against the Swiss team (November 15th) and Slovenia (November 18th)
Additional England-based Selections
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating from concussion
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes feature in Potter's Premier League contingent chosen by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach
Potter's Appointment
The English manager took over by Sweden first temporarily in late October, under four weeks following his departure by West Ham
Former boss the Danish coach was sacked following Sweden's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result which rendered automatic qualification from Group B impossible
Current Standing
The Swedish team sit last place of Group B having only one point in their opening four games
Should they fail to secure second place, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result of their results in the latest UEFA competition
