Angola have cut their squad to 22 players for the Cosafa Castle Cup Group C tournament in Botswana at the weekend.
The three tie winners have named a locally-based squad for the matches on Saturday and Sunday as coach Luis Oliveira Goncalves seeks to use the opportunity to run his eye over eight uncapped players.
But the squad does include defenders Jamba, Lebo-Lebo and Loco who played at the World Cup and goalkeeper Lama, who was back-up at the 2006 finals in Germany.
Yamba Asha, voted the best player of the Cosafa Castle Cup in 2005, returns to the competition after missing out last year because of a drugs ban.
Squad:
Goalkeepers: Lama (Petro Atletico), Nuno (AS Aviacao)
Defenders: Jamba (AS Aviacao), Joaozinho (Primeiro Agosto), Lebo-Lebo (Petro Atletico), Loco (Primeiro Agosto), Miro (Primeiro Agosto), Yamba Asha (Petro Atletico), Yuri (InterClube)
Midfielders: Alberto (Primeiro Agosto), Avex (Benfica Luanda), David (Petro Atletico), Gildo (Desportivo Huila), Lino (Uniao Mar Namibie), Mabina (Petro Atletico), Nelo (Benfica Lubango), Simao (AS Aviacao), Xara (Petro Atletico)
Strikers: Love (Primeiro Agosto), Manucho (Petro Atletico), Pedro Henriques (InterClube), Santana (Petro Atletico)
