China, lost 2-1 at Saudi Arabia in their group opener, so they will be looking to get back on track at home against a national side that they have struggled against of late.

The young talent is expected to make his national team debut against Iraq as China looks to stop a three-match losing streak against the Middle East side. After a tough week of domestic league play, Monday's training session was a light one for the side as Camacho gave his players some time to recover.
