Sweden manager Graham Potter has included Tottenham Hotspur’s Lucas Bergvall in his list for November’s international break.
On October 20th, Sweden announced Potter as their new manager, and he announced his first squad on Wednesday. There were concerns over the Tottenham player’s involvement with the national team for the upcoming fixtures.
Potter says Bergvall remains hopeful he’ll be fit on time to face Switzerland and Slovenia in the World Cup qualifiers, and the Swedish football association’s official website have relayed his comments.
Last weekend, the midfielder started in Spurs’ league defeat to Chelsea. He was forced off the pitch after seven minutes due to concussion.
The 19-year-old missed Tottenham’s Champions League win over FC Copenhagen on Wednesday. Prior to this clash, Thomas Frank also said the Sweden international will miss the weekend’s Premier League match against Manchester United.
Liverpool summer signing Alexander Isak, who has been sidelines with an injury, is picked for the two World Cup qualifiers. Potter has explained that as things stand, the duo will join the national team camp this month.
“As things stand right now, they are available. Lucas has had a concussion but hopes he can be there when it is time for us to play. Alex can hopefully play a little this weekend and will come to Spain on Monday,” he said,
