Adebayor In Line For Tottenham Return

aiteo

Emmanuel Adebayor is in line for his first Tottenham appearance of the season in the Europa League meeting with Sheriff Tiraspol in Moldova.

Striker Adebayor had been training with the reserves after turning down chances to leave the club in the summer.

But he could start on Thursday, as could winger Aaron Lennon after he recovered from a foot injury.

Etienne Capoue (ankle), Danny Rose (toe) and Younes Kaboul (adductor) remain on the sidelines.

Right-back Kyle Walker, winger Andros Townsend and midfielder Paulinho have been rested.

Tiraspol is capital of the breakaway state of Transnistria, which has its own passports, currency, police, army and border guards but is considered part of Moldova.

“For this moment, we consider ourselves to be the main force in Moldova in terms of football,” said Sheriff manager Veaceslav Rusnac, whose side have won their domestic title 12 times in the past 13 seasons.

“Our results speak for us because in the last years we almost always become champions and every time we are in European competition it helps us.

“Probably there are areas in Europe that think we have a lot of vodka and bears, but it is not so.

“In terms of football and working in football, there are not too many places in the former USSR that have such conditions.”
