Adebayor injured for Arsenal but fit for Togo?

This club-versus-country argument looks like its set to hit Arsenal again as Emmanuel Adebayor has been called up to the Togo sqaud for the World Cup qualifier against Cameroon.

Have the Togo officials missed the fact that Adebayor has been injured for the last 6 weeks?! It’s not as if he’s had a couple of weeks out with a little niggle of an injury; he’s had hamstring problems and 6 weeks is a pretty long time if you ask me. Surely a long enough injury for a top Premier League club to have control over a top player going to play a game potentially injured?

Togo ‘are likely’ - so they say - to use Adebayor as a morale booster for the team; which is very nice, but all sounds like a load of rubbish to me! What’s the betting Adebayor plays? The Arsenal top goal scorer last season, oh yep let’s just take him along for a moral booster -Hmmmm.

Arsene Wenger is planning on getting Adebayor back to fitness for the next Champions League and Premier League installments.

I realise Togo are talking about World Cup qualifiers but what’s the point of taking an injured player and then being tempted to play him injured risking further injury and then having to deal with Arsenal.

Perhaps I’m jumping the gun here but to me it’s a simple answer - just don’t take Adebayor in the first place…
