According to the Beijing Youth Daily report on August 22, 27 national team players are expected to go to Japan to participate in the competition, and the team has also added an English translator.

The Chinese team will start preparations for the September World Cup qualifiers in Dalian on the 23rd. Head coach Ivan announced the 27-man list of players for the new training camp yesterday. It is understood that due to the impact of the FA Cup quarter-finals, the Chinese team had to postpone the training camp originally scheduled to start on the 18th by 5 days. The preparation time is tight and the task is heavy. After the team gathers, it is likely that the first training of this training camp will be held at 7 pm that night. Ivan will go to Dalian this afternoon to prepare for the upcoming work of leading the team.

Compared with the last training camp and the final stage of the round of 36, the Chinese team's player lineup has not changed much. The coaching staff has only added two new players, Wang Haijian and Wei Zhen, and the coaching and working team members have been slightly adjusted. The former Chinese assistant coach Shao Jiayi has left the national football team, and the working team has added a new English translator Chen Hao. So far, there are 3 people in the national football team's translation team, namely Zhang Yu, the Croatian translator of Ivan's foreign coaching team, Zhang Kaixuan, the Portuguese translator of naturalized player Fernando, and Chen Hao, the English translator of Jiang Guangtai.

According to the plan, the Chinese team will train in Dalian until September 1, and then fly to Tokyo, Japan early in the morning on September 2. The coaching staff recruited the national team players for this training session according to the "23+4" model, that is, in addition to the 23 players who signed up for the China-Japan and China-Saudi Arabia matches, another 4 players will play the role of substitute players.

Due to the possibility of players getting injured during training and matches, the coaching staff may arrange for all 27 players to go to Japan. It should be noted that if a national team player is injured in the FA Cup and is unable to participate in the Dalian training camp, the coaching staff does not rule out the possibility of selecting a replacement player from the roster.
