Barcelona’s Eto’o fit for Celtic match

 

Barcelona said its star striker Samuel Eto’o, seen here in January 2008, is in the squad for this week’s Champions League match at Celtic after recovering from an injury sustained in the African Nations Cup.

Barcelona said Monday its star striker Samuel Eto’o is in the squad for this week’s Champions League match at Celtic after recovering from an injury sustained in the African Nations Cup.

Eto’o told a press conference Monday he felt “more or less well” with “a huge desire to play.”

The Cameroonian felt a twinge in his left thigh at the end last week’s African Nation’s final, which his country lost 1-0 to Egypt.

Club doctors said he suffered a muscle strain and had ruled him out of last Saturday’s Spanish league match against Zaragoza, which the Catalan club won 2-1.

Barca will thus have their “fantastic four” for Wednesday’s match in Glasgow: Eto’o, Lionel Messi, Thierry Henry and Ronaldinho.
