FIFA media official Gordon Watson said on Friday that North Korea submitted 19 names for Tuesday's game, leaving off players who were not expected to compete. News reports said forward An Chol Hyok, goalkeeper Kim Myong Won, and midfielders Kim Kyong II and Pak Sung Hyok were listed as absent for the 2-1 loss to Brazil.

The players have appeared at training sessions this week. North Korea's next match is against Portugal on Monday in Cape Town.
