Tottenham Hotspur forward and Togo international Emmanuel Adebayor has been hospitalized with malaria.
It was confirmed by club officials that the 30-year-old footballer was admitted to hospital after he had reported to Tottenham medical personnel he was not feeling well.
Thus Adebayor will miss the club’s pre-season tour of North America, goal.com reports with reference to Tottenham’s statement, which read in part:
Quote
"A swift diagnosis meant the disease was detected at an early stage and he is responding well to treatment. The striker is expected to be released from hospital [on Monday] and will then require a minimum of seven days before returning to training. The player has been advised not to travel on medical grounds, which means he will be forced to miss our pre-season tour of North America."
Tottenham is to play 3 friendly matches against Major League Soccer (MLS) sides within 7 days.
It would be recalled that by the end of 2013/14 English Premiere League (EPL) season Adebayor became the club’s top goalscorer with the total of 14 goals scored from 25 appearances. In their final EPL game against Aston Villa, which ended in Tottenham’s 3-0 win, Adebayor made a successful shot from the spot in the 38th minute of the match.
