Arsenal star Adebayor, Villa's Salifou in Togo blow-up

Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor is in hot water with Togo.

The Daily Express says Adebayor is in the middle of an international bust-up, having apparently been thrown out of Togo's squad.

Togo captain Adebayor did not show up at the team hotel or their training session to prepare for their World Cup match in Morocco on Saturday.

Belgian manager Jean Thissen was reported to have had enough of the way Adebayor challenges his authority.

Aston Villa's Moustapha Salifou, still in the squad, was told he could leave, too, if he kept objecting to Adebayor's dismissal.
