Zebo will fly from Houston, Texas on Sunday evening and arrive in Sydney on Tuesday morning, meeting up with the squad in Newcastle ahead of the game against Combined Country.

Bowe underwent surgery this morning to stabilise a bone fracture in his hand and his condition will be assessed over the next few days.
