Cameroon Faces Germany Amid Uncertainty Over Samuel Eto’o’s Fitness
As Cameroon prepares for its third friendly ahead of the 2014 World Cup, the Indomitable Lions face a stern test against Germany this Sunday. However, a cloud hangs over the team with doubts surrounding the participation of captain Samuel Eto’o.
The Chelsea striker is still recovering from a lingering knee injury that sidelined him for Cameroon’s opening friendlies—a 2-0 win over Guatemala and a 2-1 loss to Paraguay. Head coach Volker Finke has expressed caution, emphasizing the importance of not risking Eto’o’s fitness so close to the tournament.
While it remains uncertain if Eto’o will feature, there is speculation that he might be given around twenty minutes on the pitch. Such a cameo would not only add prestige to the encounter but also offer an opportunity to gauge the striker’s readiness ahead of the World Cup kick-off.
