Additional England-based Selections
- Tottenham midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering from concussion
- Magpies winger the Swedish international
These players feature in the England-based players chosen under ex- Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham manager Graham Potter
The New Manager's Hiring
Potter was appointed the Swedish federation initially for an interim period in late October, less than four weeks after his departure from West Ham
Previous manager the Danish coach was fired after the national team's setback to the Kosovan team in mid-October, an outcome that ended automatic qualification in qualifying group impossible
Present Standing

Even if they don't manage to claim the runner-up spot, there remains a chance they might participate in the World Cup play-offs as a result of their results during the previous UEFA competition
