Four players and four officials of Ghanaian giants, Asante Kotoko, have tested positive for COVID-19 after the team arrived in Ghana from Sudan.

According a statement from the club, the players and officials are currently self-isolating with the rest of the team who were travelled to Sudan in camp preparing for their next Ghana Premier League game against Liberty Professionals on Monday.

The Ghanaian giants were booted out of the 2020-21 CAF Champions League on technical grounds without kicking the ball in the second leg of their tie with Al-Hilal on Wednesday.

Seven players and four officials were earlier said to have tested positive, making it very difficult for the Porcupine Warriors to raise the required number of players for the game in Omdurman.

Twenty hours after the game was called off, Kotoko were eliminated from the competition and have been drawn against Algerian side ES Setif in the CAF Confederation Cup.
