Gyokeres missed the Gunners' Champions League win versus Slavia Prague earlier this week

Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes are among the England-based contingent named by former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter
The New Manager's Role
The English manager was appointed by Sweden first temporarily in late October, less than a month after leaving by West Ham
Previous coach the Danish coach was fired after the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team on 13 October, a result which rendered direct progression from their World Cup group impossible
Present Situation

Even if they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the qualification playoffs because of their results in the latest UEFA competition
