Additional Premier League Call-ups
- Tottenham midfielder the young talent, who is recovering after a head knock
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
These players are among Potter's Premier League players chosen under former Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach
Potter's Hiring
The English manager was named the Swedish federation initially temporarily in late October, under a month following he was dismissed by the Hammers
Former boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was sacked following Sweden's defeat to the Kosovan team on 13 October, an outcome that made direct progression from their World Cup group out of reach
Current Situation
Sweden find themselves bottom in Group B having just one point from their opening four games
Even if they fail to claim the runner-up spot, they may yet take part in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their results in the most recent Nations League
