Joe Allen has been named in Wales' squad for this month's Nations League matches against Iceland and Montenegro after coming out of international retirement.
The Swansea City player, 34, called time on his Wales career in February 2023, having represented his country at two European Championships and a World Cup.
But with fellow midfielders Ethan Ampadu and Aaron Ramsey missing through injury, Allen has been recalled by new head coach Craig Bellamy.
Sheffield United defender Rhys Norrington-Davies is back in the Wales squad for the first time in more than two years after injury issues, while fit-again trio David Brooks, Wes Burns and Nathan Broadhead are also involved for the first time under Bellamy.
As well as captain Ramsey and Ampadu, Daniel James and Rabbi Matondo are absent because of injury.
Wales resume their Nations League campaign in Iceland on 11 October, before hosting Montenegro three days later.
They began life under Bellamy, who was named successor to Rob Page in July, with a goalless home draw against Turkey in their opening Nations League game last month.
