Isak Makes Comeback
The Liverpool striker, absent from action from 22 October because of muscle issues, made the squad to play in the World Cup fixtures versus the Swiss team (November 15th) plus Slovenia (November 18th)
Other England-based Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
- Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes were included in the Premier League contingent selected by former multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
The New Manager's Hiring
Potter was appointed by Sweden originally temporarily on 20 October, under a month after his departure by West Ham
Previous coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after Sweden's defeat to Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome that ended automatic qualification in qualifying group unattainable
Current Situation
The Swedish team sit last place in their qualifying group with only one point from four matches
Should they don't manage to finish second, they may yet be involved in the World Cup play-offs due to thanks to their showing in the most recent UEFA competition
