Etheridge suffered a hamstring injury while playing for Cardiff City and missed out on the first two qualifiers against Syria and Guam last September.
The 29-year-old also missed out on the AFC Asian Cup 2019 and the AFF Suzuki Cup for the Azkals because of his commitments with Cardiff.
Michael Falkesgaard, who was the Filipino booters' starting goalkeeper during Etherdige's absence, is also listed in the lineup against China.
