Asante Kotoko players have been given a five-day break after their disappointing CAF Confederation Cup exit on Sunday.

The Porcupine Warriors were bundled out of the competition after a 2-0 defeat to San Pedro in Ivory Coast, losing the tie 2-1 on aggregate.

The players arrived in Ghana on Monday and were immediately told to go home and have a five-day rest

Coach Kjetil Zachariassen is yet to return with reports indicating the Norwegian will be sacked on arrival.

The team will then return to camp next week to start preparing for the upcoming Ghana Premier League.
