The Arsenal forward is set to undergo additional examinations this week following fears he suffered a thigh issue in Arsenal's English top flight triumph at the Clarets on Saturday
Gyokeres sat out Arsenal' European victory against Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
Isak, who hasn't featured from 22 October due to a groin injury, was selected for the World Cup games versus Switzerland (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (18 November)
Other Premier League Selections
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
- Magpies wide player the Swedish international
Both athletes are among the Premier League contingent selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
Potter's Appointment
The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation originally temporarily in late October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed from the Hammers
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that ended automatic qualification in Group B unattainable
Present Situation
Sweden are currently last place of Group B with only one point from four matches
Even if they fail to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the qualification playoffs because of their performance during the previous Nations League
