During the Champions League match on Tuesday, Samuel Eto’o, the Cameroonian striker, who started at the forefront for Chelsea, had to leave the pitch before the end of the match.
A few minutes before half-time, with the score at 0-0, the former Barcelona player collapsed, holding his left adductor. José Mourinho, Chelsea’s manager, promptly made the decision to replace him. Fernando Torres, who was returning from injury, took Eto’o’s place on the field.
As of now, the extent of Eto’o’s injury and the duration of his unavailability are unknown. However, it is anticipated that he might be unavailable for the upcoming weekend’s championship match. Since joining Chelsea this summer, Eto’o has scored four goals in all competitions.
