Striker Mark Bridge and teenage midfielder Terry Antonis trained with Sydney FC on Thursday but remain in some doubt for the A-League clash with Newcastle Jets on Saturday.

Bridge and Antonis missed Sydney FC's past two matches and coach Vitezslav Lavicka said a decision on the pair had yet to be made.

Sydney is coming off a flat 0-0 draw with lowly Gold Coast and travel to Newcastle to face the Jets.

Antonis, 18, racked up more than 20,000km travelling for Olyroos and A-League games before Sydney decided to give him a break while Bridge has a back injury.

"Some players like Mark and Terry are close but it's hard to say now if they will be available for this weekend," Lavicka said.

"If the physio, doctor or fitness coach say they are not ready then I'll respect that. We need players to be fully fit."
