The Tottenham Hotspur striker Emmanuel Adebayor will be brought back into the fold by interim manager Tim Sherwood having been all but frozen out under Andre Villas-Boas, who was sacked yesterday.
Adebayor is in the squad for tomorrow's Capital One Cup quarter-final at home to West Ham, although no decision has yet been made on whether he will be sufficiently match-fit to play a part either in the starting XI or from the bench. Having taken training for two days, the new Spurs management team will assess their options tomorrow.
It was felt that Adebayor was badly off the pace when he was thrown into last months game against Manchester City at half-time, the only first team action he has seen all season. However, Sherwood rates the player, now in his third season at Spurs, and feels that he has a major part to play in the push for Champions League football this season.
