That will be the case tomorrow when the Newcastle Jets W-League side unleash international imports Sanna Frostevall and Rebecca Smith against the Perth Glory at Wanderers Oval.

Both play for Swedish first-division club Sunnana SK.

They touched down in Newcastle last week but were not cleared in time to play in the Jets' 1-1 draw with Sydney FC last Saturday.

Jets coach Gary Phillips returned home from duties with the Australian under-16 girls' side on Wednesday and was pleasantly surprised to see his new-found depth and experience.

"I have had a sneak preview of the foreign girls and there's no doubt they'll come into the 11 and certainly the squad," he said.

Phillips said Smith, who is the New Zealand captain, will definitely start at centre back, but Frostevall's starting spot in the midfield could hinge on the fitness of Jets captain Cheryl Salisbury.

"Cheryl is a bit dodgy. She has a corked calf and at her age it's taking forever to heal," he said.

"We're obviously looking forward to having some more experience in the squad.

"They are up for it and they've come a long way, so they're excited to be here.

"I'm looking forward to seeing them play."

Salisbury will be given until kick-off tomorrow to prove her fitness for the must-win match against cellar-dwellers Perth.

Phillips said the return of midfielder Emily van Egmond from under-17 and under-20 Australian duties would also be a huge plus for the side.

"Emily is coming back in and she is on a high. She was absolutely outstanding with the 17s and 20s," he said.

"She will be buzzing and so will the foreign girls, so there's plenty of enthusiasm in the team at the moment."

The new-found depth has resulted in Taleah Doyle being left out of the side after making a fine starting debut against Sydney last Saturday.

Perth's Matildas striker Lisa De Vanna is expected to cause plenty of problems for Newcastle with her speed in the midfield.

Phillips said his side would focus on creating their chances through teamwork to nullify De Vanna's influence.
