In-form striker Denis Alibec has been included in Romania's 23-man squad for Euro 2016.
The 25-year-old, who scored 16 times for domestic champions Astra this season, netted his first goal for Romania during their 4-3 defeat by Ukraine in a warm-up friendly on Sunday.
The former Inter Milan forward was selected ahead of Pandurii Targu-Jiu's Ioan Hora who was the league's top scorer with 19 goals.
Coach Anghel Iordanescu also axed midfielder Alexandru Maxim, who was a key figure in qualifying but has been unable to win a regular place in his club side VfB Stuttgart in recent months.
Defender Alin Tosca and midfield duo Adrian Ropotan and Andrei Ivan were also omitted while Cordoba striker Florin Andone was called up despite missing the squad's training camp in Italy.
Watford goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon and former Tottenham defender Vlad Chiriches are included.
Romania, who host Georgia in a friendly on Friday, play hosts France in Paris on 10 June and also face Switzerland and Albania in Group A.
