The 27-year-old was absent from Arsenal' European success against the Czech side on Tuesday
Isak Makes Comeback
Isak, who has been sidelined from late October because of a groin injury, made the squad to play in the World Cup matches against the Swiss team (15 November) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back after a head knock
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
These players were included in Potter's England-based players chosen by former multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
Potter took over by Sweden originally for an interim period in late October, under four weeks following leaving by the Hammers
Previous boss the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that ended automatic qualification in their World Cup group unattainable
Present Standing
Sweden are currently last place of Group B with only one point in their opening four games
Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the secondary qualification because of their performance in the most recent Nations League
