Samuel Eto'o has returned to full training with the rest of his
Barcelona team-mates some four months after damaging knee
ligaments.
The Cameroon hit-man tore the meniscus in his right knee in a UEFA
Champions League game against Werder Bremen back in November.
He has been sidelined ever since with Barca patently missing his
pace and goalscoring threat in the final third.
However, the Catalans were given a big boost on Thursday as the
hit-man, who cut a delighted figure, finally rejoined his
team-mates at the club's Mini Estadi training ground.
Although he has initially been given a lighter workload than his
colleagues, Barca doctors are pleased with his progress and have
pencilled him in to make his return in the league match against
Racing Santander on February 11.
Eto'o has been Barca's top scorer for the past two campaigns since
joining from Mallorca in the summer of 2004 and had managed five
further goals this term before being struck down.
