Other Premier League Inclusions
- Tottenham playmaker the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Magpies winger Anthony Elanga
Both athletes were included in Potter's Premier League players selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach
The New Manager's Appointment
Potter was named the Swedish federation originally on a short-term basis on 20 October, under a month after he was dismissed from the Hammers
Previous manager Jon Dahl Tomasson lost his job following the national team's setback against Kosovo on 13 October, a result which rendered automatic qualification in qualifying group impossible
Current Position
The Swedish team are currently last place in Group B having only one point from four matches
Even if they don't manage to secure second place, they could still take part in the qualification playoffs as a result of their performance in the latest UEFA competition
