Togo's government is sticking by its decision to recall the national football team from the African Nations Cup after a deadly attack, despite the players' wish to play, a government minister said Sunday.

"The government is maintaining its decision to call the team back home," administration minister and government spokesman Pascal Bodjona told AFP.

Hours before the competition starts Sunday, players said they wanted to stay in Angola.

"In memory of the dead, the national team has decided to play in the African Nations Cup," Thomas Dossevi, who plays for French side Nantes, told AFP.

But Bodjona said "the best thing to do is not to stay".

"People are dead. The goalkeeper (Kodjovi) Obilale is in intensive care," he said.
