Manchester City manager Robert Mancini has refused to rule out a return to Eastlands for Emmanuel Adebayor after his loan spell at Real Madrid.
The striker was involved in a training-ground bust-up with Kolo Toure earlier in the season but Mancini insists that was not the reason he allowed the player to leave at a crucial stage of the campaign.
Mancini said: "These things happen in every club. Will he come back? Why not? This situation is good for him because has has a chance to play in the Champions League. At the end of the season we will see.
"I think it is important that when someone plays they play 100% and are always happy."
Meanwhile Mancini has hinted that Shaun Wright-Phillips could be staying until the end of the season with the transfer window about to close.
The Italian added: "If we lose another player we need to bring in someone different. It is impossible we have 19-20 players for the next four months."
However the City boss wants midfielder Michael Johnson to go out on loan and added: "He needs to play. It is important for him."
