Graham Potter Names Sweden Squad For Switzerland, Slovenia Matches
Graham Potter, appointed last month on a short-term contract, has revealed his first squad as Sweden's head coach for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Slovenia.
Squad Highlights
- Liverpool forward Alexander Isak makes the roster despite ongoing groin injury struggles.
- Arsenal’s Viktor Gyökeres was left out of the squad due to a muscle injury sustained during Arsenal's recent matches.
Potter was appointed last month on an initial contract to oversee Sweden's final World Cup qualifiers against Switzerland and Slovenia in the upcoming two weeks.
Gyökeres was substituted at halftime during Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Burnley and missed the subsequent 3-0 Champions League victory against Slavia Prague.
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta expressed concern about Gyökeres’ injury before the Slavia game and suggested uncertainty regarding its severity.
Looking Ahead
Potter will continue leading Sweden through the World Cup playoffs in March, following the team's success in winning its recent Nations League group.
