Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering after a head knock
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players were included in Potter's Premier League contingent chosen by ex- multiple English clubs boss Graham Potter
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was appointed by Sweden first for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks following his departure by the Hammers
Previous boss the Danish coach lost his job after the national team's 1-0 loss against Kosovo in mid-October, a result that ended direct progression in qualifying group unattainable
Present Standing
The Swedish team sit last place in their qualifying group having just one point in four matches
Even if they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might be involved in the World Cup play-offs due to of their results during the previous Nations League
