Brazilian-born Marquinhos has been included in Bulgaria's squad for its upcoming 2012 European Championship qualifier against Montenegro.
Bulgaria coach Lothar Matthaeus added the midfielder to his 22-man squad on Saturday for the June 4 match in Podgorica.
Marquinhos, 29, who plays for Bulgarian Cup winner CSKA Sofia, earlier this week received Bulgarian citizenship which allowed him to join the national squad.
Matthaeus also recalled Alania forward Ivan Stoyanov.
England and Montenegro top Group G with 10 points from four games. Switzerland and Bulgaria have four points from as many matches.
