Tottenham forward Emmanuel Adebayor has been given permission by Spurs to return to Togo for personal reasons. Tottenham did not divulge any further details, stating in a tweet it was a "private matter".
The 30 year old has not played for Tottenham since the November international break when Togo failed to qualify for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino dismissed suggestions the forward might leave in the January transfer window.
"All players that we have in the squad are part of the plans for the future," the Argentine said.
