The Chinese Olympic team's two-week England tour schedule has been confirmed with Ratomir Dujkovic's men expected to arrive in London on February 1, according to the Chinese Football Association.

China will go up against the Chelsea reserves on February 5 and two more friendlies await the team on February 8 (League Championship side Queen's Park Rangers) and 14th (League One side Brentford) before the squad returns home on February 16.

Queen's Park Rangers is standing at 21st at the 24-team League Championship with 30 points, one position above the relegation zone. Brentford is at the bottom of League One with 22 points.

Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho is expected to work with the Chinese team during their training sessions at Cobham.

Dujkovic's team is currently in France, playing a series of friendlies.
