Additional England-based Selections

• Spurs playmaker Lucas Bergvall, working his way back from a head injury
• Newcastle wide player the Swedish international

Both athletes are among Potter's England-based players chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach the new Swedish coach

Potter's Hiring

Potter was named by Sweden initially on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than a month following his departure from West Ham

Previous boss the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome which rendered direct progression in qualifying group out of reach

Current Position

Sweden are currently last place in their qualifying group with just one point in their opening four games

Even if they fail to secure second place, there remains a chance they might participate in the World Cup play-offs due to of their performance in the most recent Nations League
