Other Premier League Call-ups
- Spurs midfielder Lucas Bergvall, who is recovering after a head knock
- Newcastle wide player Anthony Elanga

Potter's Hiring
Potter took over the Swedish federation originally temporarily in late October, under four weeks following leaving by West Ham
Former manager Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired following the national team's defeat to Kosovo in mid-October, a result that ended straight qualification in qualifying group out of reach
Present Situation
The Swedish team are currently last place in Group B with only a single point from their opening four games
Should they don't manage to finish second, they could still be involved in the secondary qualification as a result thanks to their showing during the previous Nations League
