The togolese striker who initially refused to play in the tournament due to security concern and unpaid bonuses, Has made a U-Turn and has decided to play for Togo in the African cup of Nations and will travel to South-Africa after saturday's game against QPR..
His absense will leave tottenham with jermain Dafoe as the only senior striker avaliable, although Villas boas has made it clear that he's not happy with Adebayor's decision to take part in the Nations Cup.
But the 28-year-old told africatopsports.com on the
Togo Football Federation's website: "That is what he
said to the press, but not what he said to me.
"There is a difference between what you say to the
press and what you say in private."
Adebayor's initial fears were raised over the possibility
of the team being subjected to a similar attack to the
one that took place in 2010 in Angola.
Three people, including the Togo's assistant coach,
were killed when terrorists ambushed the team's
coach. Adebayor hid under a seat and survived the
attack.
