Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino insists he has a good relationship with Emmanuel Adebayor.
Pochettino claims he enjoys a healthy relationship with the Togo forward, who he says has been out with a back injury and a virus.
"My relationship with Emmanuel is very good, I was a player and I understand my players," Pochettino explained.
"After the international break he came back with a back problem and after that he got a virus.
"I spoke with him today at training and he is not ready to play, he still felt weak - maybe in the next few games he will be ready to help the team.
"All the players in the squad are in my plans for the future.
"It is normal for there to be a lot speculation in the media around the players and the club but for me I don't comment on that."
