Adebayor given Man City time off

Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor has been told that he can take off as much time as he needs to recover from the shotting ordeal at the African Cup of Nations with Togo.

The atrocity in Togo has left Adebayor claiming that it was the worst thing he has ever seen.

"I'm very sorry for him because the situation is unbearable," Mancini said. "I will wait for him and when he comes back we will speak with him. After that we'll decide when he's ready and OK to play."
