Captain Hollie Pearne-Webb returns to the Great Britain squad for the Pro League fixtures against Germany on Wednesday and Thursday.
The men's and women's teams will play Germany twice each at Lee Valley in their first home matches since 2019.
Pearne-Webb will be joined by fellow Olympic champions Giselle Ansley, Maddie Hinch and Shona McCallin.
In the men's squad, Olympians Henry Weir, Sam Ward, Harry Martin and David Ames are all back in action.
Rhys Smith is unavailable because of injury.
Pearne-Webb returns for the women, having missed their last Pro League matches, against the Netherlands and Belgium in October and November 2020, as she recovered from toe surgery.
But Emily Defroand, Tess Howard and Hannah Martin are injured and all miss out.
Hinch, Sarah Robertson and Phil Roper could play their 150th international matches, while Ollie Payne, Fiona Crackles and Rupert Shipperley may make their first appearances for Great Britain on home soil.
