Chris Brunt and Will Grigg are back in the Northern Ireland squad for the home double header with Azerbaijan and Croatia.
West Brom midfielder Brunt returned from an eight-month knee lay-off last month to feature again for the Baggies while Wigan striker Grigg has not been in either of Michael O'Neill's past two squads because his partner had a child.
There is still no place for Craig Cathcart among the 25, though, with the Watford defender sidelined since September due to a groin injury.
Goalkeepers: Michael McGovern (Norwich City), Alan Mannus (St Johnstone), Trevor Carson (Hartlepool United).
