Arteta: It's a joy to have Dowman at Arsenal (0:41)

Sweden manager Graham Potter is looking forward to having Viktor Gyökeres in camp and has said a change of environment can help the Arsenal forward.

Gyökeres has struggled for game time so far this season, having played just 12 minutes against Chelsea in the Premier League. The 28-year-old has been an unsused substitute in Arsena's three other league games.

He started against Napoli in the Champions League and Ipswich Town in the Carabao Cup, but failed to score, with Mikel Arteta preferring Havertz as his side's first-choice No. 9 so far this term.

Gyökeres will have the chance for more game time for Sweden in the upcoming international window and Potter has backed the forward to bounce back from his slow start to the new season.

"It's part of the life of a footballer. Things can come at you fairly quickly and often you just have to deal with it," Potter said.

"We know how good Viktor is, we know how important he is. We love him with the team and I think he has the same feeling. Sometimes a change of context, a change of environment can help a player. We're all looking forward to having Viktor with us and helping him enjoy his football."

Sweden kick off their Nations League campaign with two home games -- against Romania and Poland -- before trips to Bosnia and Herzegovina and Romania.
