Experienced striker Josh Magennis has returned to the Northern Ireland squad for this month's 2026 World Cup qualifying fixtures.
The 35-year-old Exeter City player has scored 12 international goals across 82 caps but had not featured in manager Michael O'Neill's squad since November 2024.
Northern Ireland will host Slovakia at Windsor Park on Friday, 10 October, before welcoming Germany to the same venue three days later, with O'Neill also able to bring back a number of players after injury.
The side were missing a host of players for the opening fixtures of the campaign when they beat Luxembourg and lost to Germany last month.
Daniel Ballard, Conor Hazard, Brodie Spencer, Ciaron Brown and Paul Smyth are all back from injury.
There is also a return for Rangers winger Ross McCausland, who is currently on loan at Aris Limassol in Cyprus, although first-choice goalkeeper Pierce Charles is still out with a shoulder problem and there is no place in the squad for strikers Dale Taylor or Ronan Hale.
