Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres, both of whom Arsenal have signed for, are not included in Graham Potter’s first Sweden squad.

Due to concerns that Gyokeres injured his hamstring during the Gunners’ Premier League victory at Burnley on Saturday, he will undergo further tests this week.

The 27-year-old was unable to participate in Arsenal’s Champions League match against Slavia Prague on Tuesday.

Isak has been chosen for the World Cup qualifiers against Slovenia (18 November) and Switzerland (15 November), but he hasn’t played for the Reds since 22 October because of a groin issue.

On October 20, less than a month after his dismissal, Sweden appointed him on a temporary basis.

Following Sweden’s 1-0 defeat to Kosovo on October 13, which resulted in automatic elimination from their World Cup group, former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired.

With just one point from their four matches, they are at the bottom of Group B.
