For Luxembourg, Luc Holtz has a full squad to choose from as Luxembourg prepare for the friendly visit of Scotland tomorrow night.
That means the coach can select Daniel Da Mota up front, with the striker recently netting a superb strike against Portugal in World Cup Qualifying.
Midfielders Lars Gerson and Mario Mutsch have also been declared fit for the friendly.
Caretaker Billy Stark has several noticeable absentees from his Scotland squad as they prepare for life without Craig Levein.
No fewer than nine squad regulars will miss the match at the Stade Josy Barthel, including Charlie Adam, Steven Fletcher, James Morrison, Phil Bardsley and Shaun Maloney.
Called up in their places are the uncapped quintet of Murray Davidson, Leigh Griffiths, Andrew Shinnie, Liam Kelly and Craig Samson, with Darren Barr, who has one cap to his name, also named in the squad.
