The striker joined the Gunners after leaving Sporting during the offseason
Gunners forward the Swedish attacker has been omitted from Graham Potter's maiden Swedish national team selection, whereas Liverpool forward Alexander Isak received inclusion

Gyokeres missed the Gunners' European victory against Slavia Prague on Tuesday
Isak Back in Action
The Liverpool striker, who hasn't featured from late October because of a groin problem, was selected to play in World Cup qualifying fixtures versus Switzerland (November 15th) and the Slovenian side (November 18th)
Additional Premier League Selections
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back after a head knock
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
These players were included in the England-based players named under former multiple English clubs manager the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Role
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation first on a short-term basis in late October, less than four weeks after his departure by the Hammers
Former manager the Danish coach was fired after Sweden's 1-0 loss against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result which rendered direct progression from qualifying group out of reach
Current Standing
The Swedish team sit last place of their qualifying group with just one point in their opening four games
Should they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they could still participate in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their results in the latest Nations League
