Angola head coach Srdjan Vasiljevic says they are not promising anything ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) finals.

Palancas Negras have been pitted against Mali, Tunisia and Mauritania in Group E.

Serbian tactician Vasiljevic has already selected his 23-man squad for the AFCON finals which is headlined by Lazio defender Bastos.

"Angola does not have many selectable players right now," Vasiljevic said on Futebol 365.

"Our players are in well-drawn championships and they need to rest, at a time when they were usually on vacation, so it's harder to figure things out, but we tried some tactical things and tried some players.

"Angola, at this moment, does not have many players selectable and the objective is to keep the guys who were part of the qualifying," he added.

"We are here to work, without promising anything, and I congratulate my players, thanking Guinea-Bissau for this correct game."

Egypt will host the 2019 AFCON finals between June 21 and July 19.
