London: Togolese international striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been allowed to return to his home country by his Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur for personal reasons, the team tweeted on Wednesday. The 30-year-old — who has not played for the club since the November international break — has been bedevilled by fitness issues and illness this season. Tottenham did not divulge any further details, stating in a tweet it was a “private matter”. Adebayor, who has scored twice in 12 appearances for Spurs this term, has been affected by hamstring and back injuries followed by a virus.
