It seems there has been a clarification regarding Emmanuel Adebayor’s participation in the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (CAN). The initial reports suggesting Adebayor’s withdrawal appear to be inaccurate. Here are the key points:
- Confirmation of Adebayor’s Participation: Contrary to earlier reports, it has been confirmed by Adebayor’s entourage and the Communication service in Togo that the Tottenham striker will indeed participate in the CAN.
- False Alarm by lequipe.fr: The initial report by lequipe.fr suggesting Adebayor’s withdrawal was labeled as a false bomb. It was mentioned that the French daily’s information was inaccurate.
- Frustration and Shenanigans: Some players, including Senah Mango, have expressed frustration and accused the president of the Togolese Football Federation (FTF), Gabriel Améyi, of shenanigans. However, Adebayor appears to be committed to participating in the tournament.
- Adebayor’s Reaction: Adebayor is reported to be furious with the media, particularly lequipe.fr, for creating unnecessary confusion. He emphasizes that he had already made a public announcement about his return after meeting the Head of State.
It’s important to note that such situations can create confusion and speculation, and the final confirmation from Adebayor’s entourage provides clarity on his participation in the upcoming CAN.
