Emmanuel Adebayor has a chance to lead Togo to the African Cup of Nations quaterfinals for the first time on Wednesday, while already qualified Ivory Coast may leave out captain Didier Drogba again.
.
Togo will face Tunisia in Nelspruit needing at least a draw to finally get past the group stage. It would be the first time in 8 appearances that Togo would advance.
.
'' I am excited that Togo is ever close to a historic qualifier ''.
.
Tournament-favourite Ivory Coast, last year's runner-up, has already secured first place in Group D, so the match against Algeria in Rustenburg will also coach Sabri Lamouchi to make changes to his lineup. He still doesn't know if he will bench Drogba for a straight match.
.
'' I still haven't decided who will play, but definately we will see new faces in the lineup against Algeria Lamouchi said through a translator ''.
.
'' Because of the situation we are in, i'll be able to use some of our youngsters ''.
