Gyokeres was absent from Arsenal' Champions League success versus the Czech side on Tuesday

Additional Premier League Selections
- Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga
Both athletes were included in the England-based contingent named by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation initially on a short-term basis in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed from West Ham
Previous boss the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome which rendered automatic qualification in Group B out of reach
Present Standing
Sweden are currently bottom in Group B with only a single point in their opening four games
Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing in the latest UEFA competition
