Hungary coach Bernd Storck has named his 26-man squad for the forthcoming UEFA EURO 2016 play-off against Norway, the first leg of which takes place in Oslo on Thursday.

István Kovács and uncapped Balázs Megyeri return to the setup while 21-year-old Videoton midfielder László Kleinheisler and Puskás Akadémia forward László Pekár, 22, may also get the chance to gain their first international caps. Ferencváros goalkeeper Dénes Dibusz and midfielder Roland Varga miss out through injury, as does Puskás Akadémia midfielder Dávid Márkvárt.

Hungary, who have not beaten their opponents since 1981, host the return leg in Budapest three days later.
