Adebayor in line for Tottenham recall

Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has striker Emmanuel Adebayor available for Saturday's game against Burnley. The forward has returned from compassionate leave, although the Togo striker is not yet fully fit, so is unlikely to start.

"He's available," Pochettino said. "After, we will see if I pick him or not. I'm happy with Ade and how he's been training. Maybe he's not 100 per cent yet, but he's not far away.

"He's getting better. He needs training, he needs to improve, especially his physical condition, but he's getting better."
