Ankaragucu forward Robert Vittek has returned to the Slovakia squad for the 2012 European Championship qualifier at Andorra and a friendly against Denmark.
Vittek, who scored four goals at the 2010 World Cup, has recovered from a long term knee injury.
Captain Marek Hamsik of Napoli, Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel and Everton goalkeeper Jan Mucha were all included in the 23-man squad announced on Wednesday by coach Vladimir Weiss for the March 26 match in Andorra and against Denmark in Trnava three days later.
Russia tops Group B with nine points from four matches, while Ireland, Armenia and Slovakia trail by two points.
