Tomas Rosicky returned to Czech Republic's national team on Thursday after almost a year out with injuries.
Rosicky, 35, was included in the 28-man European Championship preliminary squad announced by coach Pavel Vrba ahead of the team's training camp in Austria.
Rosicky, who has made 100 international appearances, injured his knee in a Euro 2016 qualifying match against Iceland in June. When he recovered, he was injured again playing for Arsenal in an FA Cup match against Burnley in January.
Rosicky did not play at all in the Premier League last season and will leave Arsenal when his contract expires this summer.
The Czechs play Malta on May 27 and Russia on June 1 in Austria and face South Korea in Prague on June 5 in the final warm-up ahead of the tournament in France.
At Euro 2016, they open against defending champion Spain on June 13, and also face Croatia and Turkey in Group D.
