Adebayor back to Togo team….

Emmanuel Adebayor will feature against Tunisia after deciding to end his exile from the international stage

Togo forward Emmanuel Adebayor has joined up with the national squad for their African Nations Cup qualifier against Tunisia, ending his exile from international football. The 32-year-old last played for Togo in June 2015 and has not been picked since failing to turn up for an African Nations Cup qualifier against Djibouti in September. Adebayor, who has a stormy relationship with Togo coach Tom Saintfiet, took to Facebook this month to turn down the chance to play for his country after he was named in the squad for Tuesday’s game against Tunisia. But it appears he has had a change of heart after meeting officials from his country’s football federation. ‘Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress and working together brings success,’ Adebayor posted on Facebook on Tuesday. ‘Let’s go get this win together boys! May God be with us today.’ Secretary general for the Togolese Football Federation Pierre Lamadokou added: ‘Adebayor joined the national team after negotiations with FTF officials. He trained just like his team mates.’
