Other England-based Selections

• Tottenham playmaker the young talent, currently rehabilitating after a head knock
• Magpies winger the Swedish international

These players feature in the Premier League contingent selected by ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham boss the new Swedish coach

Potter's Appointment

Potter was named the Swedish federation initially temporarily in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed from the Hammers

Former coach the Danish coach was sacked after Sweden's 1-0 loss against Kosovo on 13 October, a result that ended automatic qualification from qualifying group out of reach
