Leicester City defender Jonny Evans has returned to the Northern Ireland squad for October's World Cup qualifiers in Switzerland and Bulgaria.
The 33-year-old missed September's qualifiers with Lithuania and Switzerland with a foot injury.
Evans managed his first full 90 minutes of the season in Leicester's League Cup win over Millwall on 22 September.
Stuart Dallas, Corry Evans and Josh Magennis also return after missing September's matches.
Manager Ian Baraclough said it is important to "build on the momentum" his side have put together.
He added the return of the Evans brothers, Dallas and Magennis is "big for the group", and said he will manage Jonny Evans' game time to ensure he gets the best out of the defender.
"Jonny's presence and experience speaks for itself, and hopefully he comes through this week's games to be able to join up with us," said Baraclough.
"Managing him, and Brendan [Rodgers, Leicester City manager] is doing that at the club, is important. I'll be guided by him and the medical people.
"We are not going to put anyone at risk or gamble with anyone, and Jonny is in as good a position as anyone to make that call.
"We will make sure when he does come into camp we will look after him properly and make sure he is right. If he is not quite right, then between myself, Jonny and Brendan we will make that call."
