Martin O'Neill has included Shay Given in his provisional Republic of Ireland squad for next month's European Qualifiers.
Veteran Given is included again as one of five goalkeepers in the 37-man squad for the Group D games against Gibraltar and Germany.
Manager O'Neill also brings back Rotherham midfielder Paul Green, who was injured last month.
But West Ham defender Joey O'Brien is left out after being forced to withdraw from the squad for the friendly against Oman and the opening qualifier in Georgia earlier this month.
O'Neill said: "I am looking forward to meeting up with the squad in two weeks' time and preparing for two very important matches."
Given will hope for an opportunity to add a 127th senior cap after playing against Oman, although Millwall's David Forde got the nod in Georgia.
Sunderland skipper John O'Shea will become the latest man to reach a century of caps for Ireland if he plays in both games.
Ireland launched their bid for qualification with a last-gasp victory in Tbilisi as Everton winger Aiden McGeady capped perhaps his best display yet for his country with a late winner having earlier given them the lead.
Newcomers Gibraltar, who were trounced 7-0 at home by Poland last month, are unlikely to prove as troublesome at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin on October 11 as the Georgians on their own pitch, but the trip to Gelsenkirchen which follows three days later will arguably be the toughest of the entire campaign.
The Republic were paired with the reigning World champions Germany in the qualifiers for this summer's finals in Brazil and were thumped 6-1 at home in a result which almost cost then manager Giovanni Trapattoni his job, and 3-0 in Cologne in the return under caretaker Noel King.
