Additional England-based Selections

• Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
• Magpies wide player Anthony Elanga

These players are among Potter's England-based contingent selected under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach

The New Manager's Appointment

Potter was named the Swedish federation first on a short-term basis on 20 October, less than a month following leaving by West Ham

Former coach Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after Sweden's setback to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that ended direct progression in their World Cup group out of reach

Current Standing

The Swedish team sit last place of their qualifying group having just one point in four matches

Even if they don't manage to finish second, they may yet participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their results during the previous UEFA competition
