Fulham return for Adebayor

MANCHESTER City striker Emmanuel Adebayor is expected to to train this week.

The Togo international limped off after hurting his leg in the 1-1 draw at Wigan Athletic.

City chief Mark Hughes said: “It was a kick to the outside of his leg and, though he could not carry on, I would expect him back training after a couple of days’ rest.”

Adebayor should be fit for next Sunday’s home Premier League game against Fulham, but Craig Bellamy, Kolo Toure and Robinho will miss out.

Bellamy sustained a tear to a groin muscle on international duty with Wales, Toure has a problem with his heel while Robinho has been out for a number of weeks with an ankle injury.
