Cameroon's Football Federation says it wants star striker Samuel Eto'o available for Nations Cup preparations on Monday.Eto'o's club, Barcelona, claims they had reached agreement for the player to stay in Spain for another week.That would allow him to play in two more matches, before heading off to the African showpiece.Cameroon are holding a training camp in Burkina Faso before heading to Ghana.The majority of the squad has already arrived in the country.Eto'o will be a key part of the Indomitable Lions plans, and the Federation, Fecafoot, says it is essential that he joins the squad on time.New coach Otto Pfister will want as much time as possible to work with his players, many of whom he has yet to meet.Under Fifa regulations, players are required to be available for their national sides two weeks before the start of a major tournament.It is understood that Barcelona have written to Cameroon saying that the player's recovery schedule would be badly affected if he travelled this weekend.Eto'o has only just returned to first team action after many months on the sidelines through injury.SOURCE: BBC
