4月7日，《東方體育日報》特約記者趙睿報導，李源一不再被國足主帥伊萬重用，這與國足教練組某個外教對其踢球特點的評價有關，具體詳情知情人並未透露。

After the first 5 rounds of the Chinese Super League, Shandong Taishan midfielder Li Yuanyi has 0 assists.

然而，3月份的兩場世預賽18強賽，李源一先是莫名其妙落選國足備戰大名單，隨後被補召入隊，客戰沙特隊比賽第63分鐘替補出場，主場對陣澳大利亞隊他沒有進入比賽23人大名單。

When Li Yuanyi staged the assist "double cannon" again, an article on the Internet said-"Ivan said at the time: 'In the game against Australia, we put more emphasis on attack. And if you choose Li Yuanyi, it is more of a task to strengthen the defensive end. I don't know if Ivan will feel a hot pain on his face when he sees Li Yuanyi's performance at the beginning of the new season of the Chinese Super League. ”

伊萬執掌國足教鞭后，李源一曾是他比較器重的球員之一，與新加坡隊兩回合交鋒，伊萬都安排李源一打首發。轉捩點發生在與新加坡隊第二回較量的第79分鐘，李源一防守時鏟倒對方隊員，領到紅牌。此後，國際足聯又對他追加停賽一場，李源一錯過了2024年6月進行的36強賽最後兩場比賽。從此，伊萬似乎對李源一失去了興趣。It is reported that Li Yuanyi is no longer reused, which is related to the evaluation of his playing characteristics by a foreign coach of the national football coaching staff, and the specific details were not disclosed.
