The news of Gyokeres' exclusion from the squad is a concern for Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who is already dealing with injuries to strikers Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus. The absence of Gyokeres from the Sweden squad increases the likelihood that he will not play in Arsenal's upcoming match against Sunderland.

Isak's inclusion in the Sweden squad provides him with an opportunity to establish himself under Potter's guidance and make a significant contribution to the team's World Cup qualification efforts. His experience playing the full 180 minutes for Sweden during the October break could be an asset in this regard.
