The Parramatta Eels and Semi Radradra's management have confirmed that the star winger will be returning as expected to prepare for the club's next NRL game against the Cronulla Sharks.

Radradra has also assured the club that he will remain with the Eels as per his contract until at least the end of the 2017 season.

Radradra was granted leave by the club to return home and visit his family and this led to some unnecessary speculation regarding his future.

Meanwhile, the Panthers will take on the Rabbitohs at 9.50pm Friday.
