Emmanuel Adebayor has ended his 19-month absence from the Togo team by agreeing to return to international football.
The 27-year-old felt compelled to step down from the international scene in April 2010, three months after the gun attack on the Togo team bus that killed three people at the African Nations Cup

in Angola.
His decision has been met with delight by the Togolese Football Federation (FTF).


An FTF statement said: "Emmanuel Adebayor

has reiterated his willingness to be back with the national team of Togo in view of the 2013 African Nations Cup and 2014 World Cup qualifiers.
"He hopes that a new football chapter can be opened. He is committed to playing at the start of qualifying games for those two competitions."
Attack

Adebayor is currently enjoying something of a renaissance while on a season-long loan at Tottenham from Manchester City.

He has scored three goals for Spurs this term and hopes to take his form into the World Cup qualifiers after receiving assurances over players' safety.


"I am happy to say that I am returning for Togo and will make myself available for next week's game against Guinea Bissau," he said.
"I decided to quit the international scene because I had concerns over the safety of players after the deadly attack in Cabinda.


"Things were not done properly. The FTF agreed with the key issues I raised and they have resolved that they will solve these problems for the benefit of all the players.
Special treatment

"I want to serve my country but the safety of all the players in the team must be paramount. I have been assured that this issue and others will be addressed."


As the most recognisable face in the Togo squad the former Arsenal

marksman insists he is not expecting preferential treatment and that his place in the starting 11 is by no means guaranteed.


"Now that I am returning to the team, it is up to the coach to decide whether he wants to play me or not," he added.
"I am returning to the team as a member of the squad and I don't expect any special treatment. I will be treated as any other player in the team."
