Good news for the club's fans. UEFA Champions League winner Samuel Eto'o, the striker, will start training on Monday after over three months of rehabilitation following a knee injury.
The Cameroonian suffered a right knee meniscus injury on September 27 in the Champions League match against Bremen's "Werder". The initial prognosis stated that the footballer would not be able to play for at least five months - until the end of February, but the leg healed faster than expected.
As announced on the Catalan club's website, S. Eto'o will join the team's training on Monday.
"I believe that Samuel will be ready to play in the next two weeks, but it will also depend on the team's coaches," said Barcelona doctor Ramon Cugat.
"Barca", who lost 1-3 to the city rival "Espanyol" last weekend, already feels the loss of their key striker. "S. Eto'o is a very important player both on and off the field, with a vibrant character. I believe he is the best striker in the world," said team captain Carles Puyol.
Last season, the 25-year-old striker from Cameroon scored 26 goals for Barcelona in the Spanish league and 6 in the Champions League. This season, he has already scored 4 times.
"I am determined to become the top scorer in La Liga this season. There is not much difference between me and others. With hard work and dedication, I can achieve it. I will succeed," set precise goals for himself Samuel Eto'o. So far, the top scorer in the Spanish league is Sevilla striker Fredi Kanoute, who has scored 14 times.
