"We have released 6 players who are to go back. Each one of them has been given an individual working programme which is to be executed in the future by themselves in an attempt to improve on their fitness, and technical, and tactical abilities," Stimac, who was a part of Croatia's 1998 World Cup squad that finished third in France, added.
The 51-year-old, who had guided Croatia to World Cup as a coach, said he has informed players as well as the staff about "expectations for the following week".
"We have accomplished Phase-1 on our working programme. We have had meetings with the staff, players about their work accomplishments until today. We have informed them about expectations for the following week," the coach revealed.
The Indian team has been preparing for the King's Cup, a FIFA-sanctioned International 'A' tournament being organised by the Football Association of Thailand since 1968.
India's previous participation in the King's Cup were in 1977 and 1981.
