Other England-based Inclusions
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back from concussion
- Newcastle winger Anthony Elanga

The New Manager's Hiring
Potter took over the Swedish federation originally on a short-term basis in late October, less than a month following his departure by West Ham
Former manager the Danish coach lost his job following Sweden's 1-0 loss against Kosovo in mid-October, a result which rendered direct progression from their World Cup group impossible
Current Situation
Sweden find themselves bottom in their qualifying group with only a single point from four matches
Should they fail to finish second, they may yet participate in the secondary qualification as a result of their performance in the most recent UEFA competition
