2017 AFCON: Emmanuel Adebayor refuses to show up in Togo training ahead of Ghana friendly

Togo have completed their first and final training session at the Accra Sports Stadium ahead of their friendly match against Ghana without star striker Emmanuel Adebayor.

The Hawks finalized their preparations before an expectant crowd in Accra on Sunday afternoon.

Star striker Emmanuel Adebayor was however conspicuously missing from the session.

The Tottenham Hotspurs man has been heavily criticized by Togo coach Tom Saintfiet for his lack of discipline as he is yet to officially join the side in their preparations ahead of their opening 2017 AFCON qualifier.

The friendly match slated for Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium forms part of plans for both teams to put their side in good shape ahead of the start of the 2017 AFCON qualifiers which commences next weekend.

The Black Stars will also train for the first time at the Accra Sports Stadium later on Sunday.

Both teams have been unable to use the venue due to the CAF Confederation Cup match between Hearts of Oak and Esperance which was played on Saturday.
