Arsenal star Viktor Gyokeres has been left out of Graham Potter's first Sweden squad amid concerns over the forward's injury - but Alexander Isak has been included despite his recent absence for Liverpool.
Concerns were raised over Gyokeres' fitness by Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta on Monday after the £64m forward did not travel for their Champions League match against Slavia Prague.
It followed Gyokeres being substituted with a suspected hamstring issue during Saturday's 2-0 win over Burnley.
Arteta had confirmed that Gyokeres would undergo further tests in the coming days, adding: 'I am concerned because he hasn't had many muscular issues and he had to do the pitch and he was feeling something.
'That's obviously never a good sign, especially for a player that is very, very explosive.'
Fears have raised further after former West Ham boss Potter, announcing his first Sweden squad, confirmed Gyokeres was absent through injury and will not be available for selection for their upcoming two matches.

Alexander Isak has been named in the Sweden squad despite suffering from a groin issue
Sweden face Switzerland in their latest World Cup qualifier on November 15, before their final fixture against Slovenia three days later.
Potter has taken charge with Sweden bottom of their group after picking up one point from four matches.
Sweden are still in contention to secure a place at next summer’s World Cup in the United States, Canada and Mexico via the play-offs, courtesy of winning their Nations League group.
Potter confirmed both Isak and Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall are expected to be available next week, but suggested the former will not be able to complete both matches.
'As things stand right now, they are available,' Potter said.
'Lucas has had a concussion, but hopefully he can be there when it's time for us to play.
'Alex can hopefully play a bit this weekend and will be in Spain on Monday.
'He is not ready to play two matches for 90 minutes but he is available.'
Graham Potter named his first Sweden squad after taking charge of the national team last month
Isak has not played for Liverpool since October 22 due to a groin injury.
Potter took charge of the Sweden national team last month on an initial contract lasting until March 2026, with the 50-year-old agreeing to the role just weeks after being sacked by West Ham.
His contract could be extended further if he can steer Sweden through the play-offs to secure a World Cup berth.
