Additional Premier League Call-ups

• Spurs midfielder the young talent, working his way back after a head knock

Both athletes feature in the England-based players selected by ex- multiple English clubs coach Graham Potter

Potter's Appointment

The English manager was appointed the Swedish federation initially temporarily in late October, under four weeks following he was dismissed by the Hammers

Previous boss Jon Dahl Tomasson was fired after the national team's setback against Kosovo on 13 October, a result which rendered straight qualification in qualifying group out of reach

Current Position

Even if they don't manage to secure second place, there remains a chance they might take part in the secondary qualification due to of their results during the previous Nations League
