The Togo striker has been allowed leave for an
indefinite period and will subsequently miss the
Europa League clash with Turkish giants Besiktas
on Thursday evening
Emmanuel Adebayor has been given permission to
return home to Africa due to "personal reasons"
and will therefore miss the side's Europa League
clash with Besiktas .
The Togo international has yet to feature for Spurs
since returning from international duty in
November and has not been named in the
matchday squad for any of the north London
club's last six games.
"We can confirm that Emmanuel Adebayor has
been given permission to return home for personal
reasons," read a statement from Tottenham.
"This is a private matter and so we will not be
providing any further comment."
Adebayor was recently involved in a bizarre row
surrounding 'juju' - a form of witchcraft - during
which his mother was accused of placing a curse
on him, but his brother later claimed that spiritual
healers had "brainwashed" Adebayor.
The 30-year-old has been granted leave for an
indefinite period.
There was better news for Spurs elsewhere,
though, with Kyle Walker included in the squad to
face Besiktas as he looks to make his first
appearance since March having undergone surgery
in the summer.
