Robin van Persie has been recalled to the Netherlands squad for for the forthcoming World Cup qualifiers against France and Bulgaria, with Ryan Babel also back in the international fold after a six-year absence.
Van Persie's last outing for the Oranje came in October 2015, when he scored his 50th international goal in a 3-2 defeat to Czech Republic.
Babel's time out of the side goes back much further to a 3-0 friendly loss against Germany in November 2011.
The Besiktas winger expressed his frustration at being left out for Netherlands' end-of-season friendlies against Morocco and Ivory Coast but has won the nod from head coach Dick Advocaat this time around.
There is no place for Virgil van Dijk – the centre-back currently out of first-team action at Southampton after handing in a transfer request.
Netherlands lie third in Group A, three points behind both France and leaders Sweden.
They travel to the Stade de France on August 31 before hosting Bulgaria – a point behind them in fourth at present - three days later.
A 2-0 loss in Bulgaria back in March led to Danny Blind being sacked as Netherlands boss.
