Togo's players claim they still have not received money they claim they are owed for qualifying for the World Cup but the players have relented on their boycott threat and will travel to Cologne for their last Group G fixture with France.

Togo had originally threatened not to travel to Dortmund for Monday's match with Switzerland but relented after pressure from FIFA and a vow from the Togo Football Federation that they would be given their bonuses.

On Sunday evening Togo skipper Jean-Paul Abalo had said the team would still consider boycotting the game with the Swiss if they had not received the money but in the end the Sparrowhawks played in the match they lost 2-0.

However, Togo goalkeeper Kossi Agassa denied media reports that the players had been paid.

"At the moment we have received nothing," said Agassa.

"We have received promises but at the moment nothing has been delivered.

"We hope they will keep their word," said Agassa. "The (Togo Football) Federation has made us that promise."

FIFA are understood to have told the players that there would be severe consequences should they carry out their threat to boycott.
