Korean head coach Park Hang-seo will call up 30 players for the training course, giving some new faces the opportunity to stake their claim for a place in the squad.

The upcoming World Cup qualifiers in the Asian region will see Vietnam play away against Malaysia on October 13.
The team's final two fixtures in Group G are at home against Indonesia on November 12, before finishing with a clash away against the United Arab Emirates on November 17.
