English clubs' plea after Nations Cup gun attack
The team bus came under an attack that reportedly left the driver dead and six passengers injured, including two of the Togo squad. Romanian club Vaslui confirmed that their defender Serge Akakpo was shot and badly injured in the attack.
Manchester City – whose star striker Emmanuel Adebayor was not harmed in the attack in Cabinda – and Portsmouth have contacted the Football Association, asking them to speak to football's world governing body to ensure players' safety can be guaranteed, and calling for them to be sent home if it cannot.
Aston Villa confirmed their midfielder Moustapha Salifou was "shaken but okay" following the attack.
