ETO PRAYS FOR A MIRRACLE
The 33-year-old had played in Cameroon's opening 1-0
defeat to Mexico on Friday, but has failed to take any part intraining since and has subsequently claimed that his knee
problem flared up as early as the ninth minute of that game.
"I am hoping the gods grant me a miracle and that I am able
to defend my dear, beautiful country," Eto'o told Cameroon
Radio-Television (CRTV).
"If this is not the case, I will always play my role as captain
and especially as the big brother to push my young team-
mates to victory."
Eto'o also revealed that he has been carrying the injury for
three-and-a-half months and it has failed to heal, even
though he sat out the majority to his country’s World Cup
warm-up friendlies.
After their opening loss to Mexico, Cameroon head into
Wednesday’s clash against Croatia seeking to keep their
qualification hopes alive, before they take on tournamenhosts Brazil in their final Group A match next Monday.
