Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
These players were included in the England-based contingent chosen under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager the new Swedish coach
Potter's Appointment
The English manager was named by Sweden originally for an interim period in late October, under four weeks after leaving by the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job after the national team's defeat to the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result that made automatic qualification in Group B out of reach
Present Situation
The Swedish team are currently bottom in their qualifying group with only a single point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet take part in the qualification playoffs as a result of their results in the most recent Nations League
