BUCHAREST, Romania -- Juventus striker Adrian Mutu has been named in Romania's squad to face the Netherlands and Armenia in World Cup qualifiers next month.
The former Chelsea forward completes a seven-month suspension for testing positive for cocaine on May 24.
"Mutu is a key player of our squad and he cannot miss these key matches," Romania coach Victor Piturca said.
Piturca added: "Mutu told me that he is in good shape, he has recovered physically after the ban and is eager to return and play for the national team."
Romania skipper Cristian Chivu also returns following a long-term toe injury.
Romania, third in the Group One standings with 13 points from seven matches, face leaders the Netherlands in Rotterdam on June 4 and host second-from-bottom Armenia four days later.
