Western Sydney Wanderers striker Tomi Juric is set to make his first appearance in the red and black hoops in two months after overcoming a groin injury in time to face Al-Hilal in the first leg of the Asian Champions League final.

The 23-year-old is set to play his first competitive game for his club since scoring the decisive penalty away to Guangzhou Evergrande on August 27 to ease the selection woes facing coach Tony Popovic.

The Wanderers No.9 has been on the sideline for the past three weeks due to a groin injury sustained at training but is back to full training and in contention to play in the biggest match of the young club's existence.

Club sources suggest Juric was close to returning for the Sydney derby last Saturday night but was not risked with the first leg of the Asian Champions League final just seven days later.
