Adebayor stays with Togo

Sheyi's a good kid, one who wants to learn and loves the game
Togo coach Stephen Keshi

Togo striker Sheyi Adebayor is to stay with the team at the African Nations Cup in Egypt - despite vowing to quit the camp.

Stephen Keshi, coach of Togo, told BBC Sport that the row between him and the newly-signed Arsenal player was a "family disagreement".

"In a home, there are always misunderstandings between sons and fathers, because you want things right," said Keshi.

"Its just for you and the kids to come to a compromise - and that's what we did.

"Sheyi's a good kid, one who wants to learn and loves the game.

"I want the same thing - I want to win and I want to learn."

The Togo coach was seen to be physically restrained from confronting Adebayor on the team bus on Saturday, after Togo lost to DR Congo in their opening game in Group B.

Although tempers seem to have cooled after Keshi accused Adebayor of indiscipline and trying to soil his reputation, it is unclear whether the striker will make the starting line up for their next game against Cameroon.

Giving nothing away, Keshi said his team is determined to get a needed win over the four-time African champions.

"We're just going to plan for the game as we usually do and get the boys to believe they can do it," added Keshi.

"We want to win but at the same time we've got to be cautious of what we do."
