Lazio's Stam missed last month's 1-0 friendly victory in Norway with an Achilles tendon injury while Feyenoord's Paauwe was left out.

Advocaat also welcomed Ajax midfielder Rafael van der Vaart back into the 20-man squad after he missed the Norway game with a groin injury.

PSV Eindhoven defenders Andre Ooijer and Wilfred Bouma were left out of the squad due to injury.

"On Saturday it will be serious," said Advocaat, "We played well in the friendlies, but everybody will have forgotten that if we drop points against Belarus."
