Spurs sends Adebayor on leave on compassionate ground

It was learnt that Spurs head coach Mauricio Pochettino has excused
Adebayor from training this week and the final game of the season
against Everton at Goodison Park on Sunday. He will not travel on the
post-season tour to Malaysia and Sydney.
Adebayor has made a series of allegations against his family
overFacebookin recent weeks that have prompted concerns over his
mental state.
The latest of his messages accused brother Kola of holding a knife to
his throat and included claims that he has often considered suicide as
a result of his family problems.
Tottenham want to sell Adebayor during the summer, meaning he could
have already played his last game for them, but the club's immediate
concern is the player's well-being.
It is hoped that giving Adebayor time off to clear his head and return
to his homeland will allow the 31-year-old to sort out his problems
and grievances in time to return to pre-season training, either at
Tottenham or with another club, in the correct frame of mind.
Rejecting claims that he had evicted his mother from his house in
Africa, Adebayor claimed people were attempting to direct witchcraft,
or Juju, at him.
Adebayor was then given compassionate leave by Spurs in December after
a close family member was taken seriously ill.
Having taken a week off, Adebayor returned to Tottenham before
Christmas but has made only five appearances since then, starting just
one game.
Adebayor still has a year remaining on his Spurs contract and chairman
Daniel Levy faces the prospect of having to take a financial hit on
the former Arsenal man to offload him this summer.
