Eto'o at La Masia

Anna Segura

Samuel Eto'o trained on Tuesday evening at La Masia as his recovery from injury continues to develop positively. The Cameroonian worked out alone at the same time as the training session involving the rest of the squad.

At 17.00, Samuel Eto'o emerged at La Masía, where he worked in isolation from the rest of the group. He arrived half an hour before everybody else as he continues concentrating on recovery from the injury he picked up in the Gamper Trophy match against Inter Milan, a partial breakage of a tendon in his right leg.

Intense programme

Eto’o has been working at a far more intense rate for the last two weeks, and it was nice to see him getting to touch the ball this evening. He tackled a very complete series of exercises that included a circuit involving ball control and shots on goal.

Shots on goal

He then continued working on his shooting skills, latching onto the end of crosses supplied by one of the fitness coaches. Juan Carlos Unzué took the goalkeeper’s role. Eto'o visibly seemed to be enjoying himself and made several jokes as the session progressed, which ended with a series of sprints and jogging.
