Dudek, who returned to the national team last month after missing the World Cup, was at fault as Poland lost 3-1 loss to Finland in its opening qualifier. He then sat out Poland's 1-1 draw with Serbia.

Beenhakker instead picked Celtic No. 1 Artur Boruc on Friday for the Oct. 7 match against Kazakhstan and four days later versus Portugal. The 26-year-old Boruc has been in solid form for his club, while Dudek has not played a game this season for Liverpool.

Beenhakker also called up Southampton striker Grzegorz Rasiak for the first time since he took over in July.

The 63-year-old Dutchman coached Trinidad and Tobago at this year's World Cup.
