Socceroos boss Graham Arnold will unveil his squad for the qualification window in Melbourne on Thursday.
And AAP understands 24-year-old Yengi is expected to come into calculations for a debut after successfully adapting to life with Portsmouth.
The former Western Sydney Wanderers and Adelaide United frontman has five goals in eight games for Pompey after making the move overseas during the A-League Men off-season.
Yengi has averaged a goal every 40 minutes in appearances across League One and Portsmouth's various cup competitions.
Arnold confirmed that he had pencilled Yengi in for the September window friendly against Mexico only for the talented striker to be sidelined with an ankle injury.
Yengi, who also qualifies for England and South Sudan, missed close to two months of action for Pompey, who sit atop of League One.
But providing he comes through Portsmouth's game against Charlton on the weekend unscathed, his inclusion will be a timely boost for Arnold.
Ahead of January's trip to the Asian Cup, Yengi would give the Socceroos an extra dimension up front aside from the industrious Mitchell Duke.
Arnold has no major injury concerns ahead of the November window where Australia will be expected to pick up two wins.
