Semi Radradra has the chance to make a late season push for inclusion in Australia's Four Nations squad after he was named to make his Parramatta return from five weeks out with a knee injury.

Radradra was on Tuesday included in coach Brad Arthur's Eels outfit for Sunday's round 24 NRL match with Canberra.

The Fijian winger hasn't played since injuring his knee in the round 18 win over Sydney Roosters.

Radradra, who is facing domestic violence allegations, was a controversial choice for Australia's mid-season Test against New Zealand in Newcastle in May after pledging allegiance to the green and gold over his native Fiji.

He now has three rounds to impress Kangaroos coach Mal Meninga given the Eels are out of finals contention.
