Other Premier League Call-ups

  • Tottenham midfielder the young talent, currently rehabilitating from a head injury
  • Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga

Both athletes were included in the Premier League players selected by former multiple English clubs boss the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Appointment

Potter was appointed the Swedish federation originally for an interim period on 20 October, less than four weeks following leaving by the Hammers

Previous boss the Danish coach lost his job following the national team's setback against Kosovo in mid-October, an outcome which rendered automatic qualification in their World Cup group unattainable

Current Standing

Sweden sit last place in their qualifying group having just one point in their opening four games

Should they don't manage to finish second, they could still participate in the qualification playoffs because of their results in the most recent UEFA competition
