YANBIAN,July 13 (Xinhua) -- Three overage players from China's national football team will be very likely to join the Olympic squad, said the team's head coach Ratomir Dujkovic here on Sunday.

    Dujkovic placed playmaker Zheng Zhi, defender Li Weifeng and striker Han Peng in the starting lineup in a warm-up against Malaysia on Sunday, in which the host team beat the guest 4-0.

    "It is most possible the trio will join the Olympic team, if everything goes right with them," Dujkovic told a press conference after the game.

    China is expected to announce the final roster after its next warm-up with Australia next Sunday.

    Captain Zheng Zhi could be partner with Zhou Haibin to provide ammunition from midfield. However, Zheng has been suffering from a slight back injury and on Sunday's he didn't play a full match.

    Li Weifeng's solid defense ability makes him the mainstay in China's back. But Han Peng will still have to contend with a number of young attackers, including Manchester United's Dong Fangzhuo and Gao Lin, for a place in the starting line-up.

    Dong and Gao both netted in once in the warm-up match on Sunday, but Han, who played about 70 minutes on the field, yielded no scores.
