Alexander Isak Back in Action

Additional England-based Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker the young talent, working his way back from a head injury
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
These players are among the England-based contingent named under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
Potter was appointed by Sweden initially temporarily on 20 October, under four weeks following leaving from West Ham
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following the national team's 1-0 loss to Kosovo in mid-October, a result that ended direct progression in qualifying group unattainable
Present Position
Sweden find themselves bottom of their qualifying group with just a single point in their opening four games
Should they fail to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the qualification playoffs as a result of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
