Emmanuel Adebayor has rejoined the Tottenham first-team at the club’s training ground after two weeks of being exiled with the reserves.
The Spurs striker has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane this summer and remains a loan target of Championship leaders QPR.
And boss Andre Villas-Boas sent Adebayor to train with the club’s development side earlier this month to prove his fitness, following a lack of pre-season action alongside compassionate leave after the death of his brother in Togo.
But Adebayor has now been granted permission to train alongside the likes of Roberto Soldado, Christian Eriksen, Gylfi Sigurdsson and co.

The Togo international wrote on Twitter: ‘Hey guys, today was my first day back training with the first team. Good to be back and feeling good! Have a great day everyone!’
It is likely to be too early for Adebayor to be in contention for a place in Villas-Boas’ side for Thursday’s Europa League trip to Anzhi Makhachkala, but he may be hopeful of a return to action sometime in October.
