Claudio Marchisio has returned to the Italy squad after missing Euro 2016 with a knee injury, while Simone Zaza and Lorenzo Insigne are also back in the fold for matches against Liechtenstein and Germany.
Juventus midfielder Marchisio was injured in a Serie A game against Palermo in April, only returning to full fitness in recent weeks.
And, although the 30-year-old has started just two games this season, he has done enough to convince head coach Giampiero Ventura ahead of the national team's next two fixtures, the first of which is a World Cup qualifier.
Zaza, who joined West Ham United on loan from Juve in August, had not been called up since missing a vital penalty in Italy's quarterfinal shootout defeat to Germany in the European Championship, but he and Napoli's Insigne have both earned call-ups.
