Adebayor set to pull out of African Nations Cup Tottenham striker Emmanuel Adebayor is almost certain to refuse to play in the African Nations Cup after the Togolese FA changed coach Didier Six's tournament squad list, L'Equipe has reported. The paper says former Aston Villa midfielder Six, who has been Togo coach since November 2011, handed the FA his 23-man list for the competition, which starts in South Africa on January 19, only for the final squad to show differences. The list registered by the African Football Federation (CAF) shows two players named by the coach, ex-Swindon Town forward Thomas Dossevi and Marseille youngster Senah Mango, left out, while Reims goalkeeper Kossi Agassa - who had been ruled out of the tournament with a knee injury - is included. Angered by the furore, Adebayor - who had hit out at the Togolese FA last month when he said he was unlikely to play in the tournament - could now refuse to take part, the French paper says. He is not currently at the squad's training camp in Ghana, but Tottenham had said he would join his country's squad after their Premier League game against QPR at Loftus Road on Monday night. Six, who has 25 players with him, has been forced to appeal to disgruntled members of his playing staff not to quit, L'Equipe says. "It's once more a problem of organisation," Herve Penot, the paper's African football expert, told ESPN FC. "Six gave a list which wasn't the one sent by the federation to the CAF. So certain players have to leave [the pre-tournament training camp]. Adebayor doesn't want to continue like this. We don't yet know what the other players are going to do. It's a right mess. "I think it's definitive for Adebayor, but as long as the Nations Cup hasn't started, it's difficult to say. Perhaps things will move a bit now after the article, but logic dictates that other players won't go either." Last month, Adebayor, 28, had said there was only a "5% chance" that he would play in the tournament. The Togo national captain said he remained in fear of his safety two years after the Togo team bus was ambushed by gunmen at the African Nations Cup in Angola. He denied claims by Togo officials that he did not want to play because of a dispute over unpaid bonuses. However, he later said he had had a change of heart after face-to-face meetings with Faure Gnassingbe, the president of Togo. Should Adebayor and other players refuse to play in the African Nations Cup, they could face FIFA sanctions. 据法国媒体《队报》报导，在多哥足协更改国家队主帅迪迪埃尔 -希克斯的非洲杯名单後，热刺前锋阿德巴约几乎确定将退出本届杯赛。 2013年非洲杯将於1月19日在南非开幕，多哥主帅希克斯向 多哥足协提交了自己拟定的23人大名单，但最终非洲足联所公 布的名单却与他提交的那份有所出入。据非洲足联公布的名单显 示，希克斯选择的两名球员——斯文登前锋汤玛斯-多塞维 （Thomas Dossevi）和马赛妖星塞纳-曼哥（Senah Mango） 被排除在了名单之外，而因膝伤而落选大名单的兰斯门将柯西- 阿加萨（Kossi Agassa）则赫然出现在名单之中。 对此，阿德巴约出离愤怒。上个月他便曾猛烈抨击过多哥足协， 并扬言不会参加非洲杯。现在，据《队报》报导，他很可能因此拒 绝参赛。目前阿德巴约并没有前往多哥队位於迦纳的训练营，而热 刺方面则说他在英超对阵QPR的比赛之後已经前往国家队报导。 据《队报》报导，希克斯现在手下只有25名球员可用，他不得不 尽最大努力安抚怨声载道的球员们，保证没有人再选择退出。 “这次又是组织的问题，”《队报》的非洲足球专家Herve Penot告 诉ESPN。“希克斯拟定了自己的名单，但却并不是多哥足协交给非 洲足联的那一份。所以有些球员注定要离开训练营。阿德巴约不希 望这样的事情继续发生，我们还不知道其他球员会怎麽做，总之一 团糟。我觉得这会是阿德巴约的最後决定，不过只要非洲杯没开始 ，一切都很难说。也许事情会有转机，但是逻辑上来说还会有其他球 员退出吧。” 上个月，28岁的阿德巴约说他只有“5%的机会”参加本届非洲杯。前 多哥队长说，他对於两年前的多哥队大巴枪击案还心有余悸，同时 否认了足协官员关於他拒绝为国出战是因为奖金分配不均的说法。不 过，在与多哥总统面谈之後，阿德巴约又说自己对於祖国仍然充满热 情。如果现在阿德巴约和其他一些队员拒绝参加非洲杯的话，那麽他们 将面临国际足联的处罚。 http://www.espn.co.uk/football/sport/story/187717.html?CMP=OTC-RSS --
