Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas is unsure if Emmanuel Adebayor will be committing to Togo's African Nations Cup campaign.
Togo head coach Didier Six vowed to persuade his captain to return, but Villas-Boas thinks Adebayor will stay in London come January.
Villas-Boas said: "At the moment the indication is that he's not going to be involved (in the African Nations Cup).
"We as a club are aware of the situation and if it's resolved it's something we have to respect."
