Other England-based Call-ups
- Tottenham playmaker Lucas Bergvall, working his way back after a head knock
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga
These players feature in Potter's England-based players chosen by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham coach Graham Potter
Potter's Hiring
The English manager was named by Sweden first temporarily on 20 October, under a month following his departure by West Ham
Previous boss the Danish coach was sacked after the national team's defeat against the Kosovan team in mid-October, a result which rendered straight qualification from Group B impossible
Present Situation
The Swedish team find themselves bottom of Group B having just one point from four matches
Even if they fail to secure second place, there remains a chance they might be involved in the qualification playoffs as a result thanks to their showing in the latest UEFA competition
