Willie Rioli will make his long-awaited West Coast return on Friday, but the Eagles have been hit with more bad luck on the injury and COVID-19 front.

Rioli, who received a two-year ban for twice tampering with a urine sample during the 2019 season, will make his return in a practice match against Fremantle at Mineral Resources Park.
