Socceroos defenders Luke Wilkshire and David Carney are on track to return from injury in Sunday morning's (AEDT) Asian Cup quarter-final against Iraq.

The pair missed Australia's final group game against Bahrain after both picked up injuries in the 1-1 draw with fellow heavyweights South Korea.

Wilkshire suffered a groin knock while Carney popped a shoulder but both trained with the Australian squad in Doha on Thursday.

"I'm pretty sure (they will be available)," Socceroos coach Holger Osieck said.
