Are they really retired??

I am wondering if the Japanese players competed in Beijing Olympics Games will no longer come back for the national team?????
My question is due to the interview of the current Japanese head coach Sadatoshi Sugawara given on 6th October after his team defeated to Korea 0-3 sets.


“We are newly-formed team. Most of my girls are still young and inexperienced. The senior players are taking a one-month break after they competed in the Beijing Olympic Games. However, I don’t think they will return to join the team anymore. After this championship, we will return to Japan . Everyone gets ready to play for her own clubs in the National Volleyball League,”
