Angola striker Flavio and defensive midfielder Stelvio are doubtful for Sunday�s Africa Cup of Nations Cup opening game against Mali.
Coach Manuel Jose said on Tuesday that Flavio was injured in the 1-1 draw with Gambia in Portugal on Sunday in Angola�s last warm-up match. Stelvio picked up his knock in another warm-up international against Estonia on December 30.
�It is my big concern that Flavio recovers and is available to play against Mali,� the coach told reporters on the team's return to Angola after a month-long training camp in Portugal, according to Kickoff.com.
�He, together with Stelvio, are important to our starting line-up because we don�t have any stars in our team and need the key elements of our collective.�
