Abraham scored the winner for Hammarby in their 1-0 win over Degerfors at the weekend, which took the 24-year-old's tally to 14 goals in Allsvenskan this season - form that has merited him a place in the senior squad, having previously been capped at under-21 level.
His gain is Ali's misfortune, after the former Malmo winger was injured over the weekend when featuring for PAOK in Greece.
Ali is the latest withdrawal from Potter's initial selection for the UEFA Nations League (UNL) fixtures after Gustaf Nilsson was also forced out through injury, and he was replaced by Williot Swedberg, one of the surprise omissions from the World Cup squad who has been handed a recall.
Mattias Svanberg has also been deemed not fit enough to participate, and his place in midfield has been taken by Hugo Larsson. In defence, John Mellberg has been promoted from the under-21 side to the senior setup to provide extra cover if needed, as Gustaf Lagerbielke is currently carrying a knock but is still aiming to be involved in the September/October fixtures.
One of the major talking points at the squad announcement was no Kristoffer Nordfeldt named in Potter's side, and the goalkeeper has now announced his retirement from the international scene.
Sweden begin their League B campaign in the UNL at home to Romania on 25th September, the first of four matches over this window.
