Germany coach Joachim Loew on Friday called up an experienced Germany squad for next Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein and Finland, four days later.

Loew has recalled Michael Ballack and Torsten Frings, who missed last week's 2-0 victory against Belgium in an international friendly, but is still without the services of Arne Friedrich, goalkeeper Rene Adler and Per Mertesacker.

All 18 players who were in the squad against Belgium also got the nod for the two World Cup qualifiers.

Squad:

Midfielders: Michael Ballack (Chelsea), Torsten Frings (Werder Bremen), Thomas Hitzlsperger (VfB Stuttgart), Marko Marin (Borussia Moenchengladbach), Simon Rolfes (Bayer Leverkusen), Bastian Schweinsteiger (Bayern Munich), Piotr Trochowski (SV Hamburg)

Strikers: Mario Gomez (VfB Stuttgart), Patrick Helmes (Bayer Leverkusen), Miroslav Klose (Bayern Munich), Kevin Kuranyi (Schalke 04), Lukas Podolski (Bayern Munich)
