LOME, Jan. 13 (Xinhua) -- Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor is not ready to return to action as he was thrilled with last week's deadly attack on the Togo team bus at the African Nations Cup in Angola.

    Togo's media officer died in Adebayor's arms last Friday in the Angolan region of Cabinda, one of three deaths in the gun attack, which led to the team pulling out of the tournament.

    Adebayor is recovering back home in Togo and isn't contemplating returning to England for City's match against Everton in the Premier League on Saturday.

    "If it meant going back tomorrow, I wouldn't be capable of giving everything that I've got," Adebayor said in an interview with SNTV on Wednesday.

    "I will not be able to play that game. Even me standing on that pitch would be the worst thing that I could do because I am not 100 percent yet and I have to start training first, recover first from what happened."

    Man. City has granted the 25-year-old Adebayor to stay with his family in Togo's capital of Lome.

    "At the moment, I'm just sweating everyday and every day that God made. At the moment, I can't even eat. I will take time and I will come back on the pitch at the right time," added he. "My head is not what we are scoring at the moment, my head is on the families that lost their people."
