LONDON, Jan 9 (AFP): Togo captain Emmanuel Adebayor said many of his teammates wanted to leave the African Nations Cup after a gunman opened fire on the bus carrying the team to the tournament in Angola on Friday.
The Manchester City striker told BBC Radio Five Live in Britain he would convene a team meeting at which the squad would discuss whether to stay in Angola or return to their clubs.
Two players suffered bullet wounds and a driver was killed as shots were fired at the Togo team's vehicles as they crossed into the troubled Angolan province of Cabinda from Congo-Brazzaville.
Adebayor told the BBC: "I think a lot of players want to leave, I don't think they want to be at this tournament.
