Dion Charles, Eoin Toal and Luke Southwood have been named in the Northern Ireland squad for the Nations League fixtures next month.
Michael O’Neill’s side host Luxembourg on Thursday, September 5 before heading to Bulgaria on Sunday, September 8.
Charles is back in the squad after he was forced to withdraw over the summer due to a knee injury.
The 28-year-old has scored two goals in five matches since the start of the campaign, including in Tuesday night’s victory at Shrewsbury.
Toal featured in a 5-1 defeat against Spain in June, coming up against the likes of Alvaro Morata and Lamine Yamal.
Southwood has won one senior cap to date, but it is his first call-up as a Bolton player following his free transfer from Cheltenham over the summer.
The goalkeeper, who was left out of the last squad while he recovered from a fractured fibula, featured in both Carabao Cup ties this month.
There are also a couple of ex-Bolton names included in the squad, those being Conor Bradley and Josh Magennis.
