MELBOURNE Heart's morale could<span channel="!Print">receive a timely boost in their bid to avoid breaking a dreaded A-League record</span>, with marquee player Orlando Engelaar set to make his debut on Friday night against Newcastle Jets.
The giant Dutchman returned to the pitch after four months on the sidelines with a broken leg, afterplaying almost 30 minutes for Heart's youth team in Sunday's 3-1 youth league win over Melbourne Victory.

Jonatan Germano, who was among the goalscorers for Heart, also played his first game of the season, although he's more likely to play another week with the youth team.
Harry Kewell required stitches on a leg gash but trained on Monday as did midfielder Engelaar.
"Orlando is even-money to be in the 16-man squad. His exact role depends on how he does at training,'' football manager John Didulica said.

"He got through just over 25 minutes in a game played at a pretty good pace. He trained again today and there wasn't any residual issues from his game. It's just about tracking him for this week and seeing whether he's right to be picked for Friday night.
"It was Germano's first kick all season. He got through 45 minutes OK, but we probably need to be more patient with him because he's had a series of soft-tissue injuries.''

Heart hosts the Jets at AAMI Park hoping to avoid setting the A-League record for most consecutive games without a win - it is level with the now-defunct New Zealand Knights on 19.
"For us it's no different to any other week. We think we're a chance of winning and the challenge for us is if it doesn't go for us early we need the mental capacity to work through it,'' Didulica said.
"We know we can beat any team in the league, but we need to battle for a full 90 minutes as well.''
