The striker moved to the Gunners after leaving Sporting during the offseason
Gunners forward the Swedish attacker was left out in the new manager's first Sweden squad, while Liverpool striker Alexander Isak received inclusion

The 27-year-old was absent from the Gunners' European success versus Slavia Prague earlier this week
Isak Back in Action
Isak, who hasn't featured from late October owing to muscle issues, has been chosen for World Cup qualifying fixtures versus Switzerland (15 November) and Slovenia (18 November)
Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs midfielder the young talent, who is recovering from a head injury
- Newcastle winger the Swedish international
Both athletes are among the England-based players selected under former multiple English clubs boss the new Swedish coach
Potter's Hiring
The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation originally temporarily on 20 October, less than four weeks following he was dismissed by the Hammers
Former manager the Danish coach was sacked after the national team's defeat against Kosovo in mid-October, a result that made automatic qualification in their World Cup group impossible
Present Standing
Sweden sit bottom of their qualifying group having only one point in their opening four games
Should they don't manage to secure second place, they may yet participate in the qualification playoffs as a result of their results in the latest Nations League
