Emmanuel Adebayor has taken an extraordinary dig at former Arsenal team-mate Tomas Rosicky and his renowned injury problems.

The Togolese forward, currently playing for Turkish club Istanbul Basaksehir, says the Czech winger was so fragile that he would get injured merely from asking him how he was.

The two players joined the Gunners in 2006 and spent three fruitless seasons together before Adebayor departed for Manchester City.

However, Rosicky, who made just 170 appearances in 10 years at the club, rarely played during that period due to an array of injuries.
