Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni has included strikers Mike Havenaar and Shinji Okazaki in his 23-man squad for 2014 World Cup qualifying matches against Korea DPR and Tajikistan later this month.
Zaccheroni also included Inter Milan defender Yuto Nagatomo, Wolfsburg midfielder Makoto Hasebe and Borussia Dortmund striker Shinji Kagawa in the group for the two-match trip.
Okazaki, who plays for Stuttgart in the Bundelisga, scored twice in Japan's 8-0 thrashing of Tajikistan in last month's Group C match at Osaka. Havenaar, of the J.League's Ventforet Kofu, also scored two goals in that game.
Japan plays at Tajikistan on 11 November and then takes on Korea DPR at Pyongyang on 15 November. It will be the first time Japan has played in North Korea since 1989.
