UAE players arrived in Thailand last Saturday to get used to the climate. 

The UAE, considered the most powerful team in group G, lost 1-2 to Thailand and dropped to third place with 6 points after 3 matches.

The UAE football association website said that UAE players have been training hard as soon as they landed in Thailand.

Coach Bert van Marwijk added 9 defenders to his 24-man roster, including veteran center-back Yousef Jaber.

The UAE will arrive in Hanoi on Wednesday and will play hosts Vietnam one day later. The match will kick off at 8pm at My Dinh national stadium.
