Other Premier League Selections

• Tottenham midfielder the young talent, who is recovering from concussion
• Newcastle wide player the Swedish international

Both athletes are among the Premier League contingent named under ex- multiple English clubs manager Graham Potter

Potter's Hiring

The English manager was appointed by Sweden first on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed from West Ham

Previous coach the Danish coach was fired after the national team's 1-0 loss to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that ended straight qualification from qualifying group unattainable
