Eto'o out for 3 months

Video Safari

Barcelona star Samuel Eto'o is facing at least three months on the sidelines after suffering a serious knee injury in last night's 1-1 draw at Werder Bremen.

Barca doctors say Eto'o is facing a three-month lay-off on initial findings, however a scan at 4:00pm this afternoon will give a clearer assessment to the extent of the damage.
Eto'o was upbeat last night, leaving the stadium on crutches and shouting to journalists: "I'm leaving for Sam Mames to see my Uncle!"
Barca coach Frank Rijkaard said afterwards: "I hope that the injury of Samuel (Etoo) is not too serious. I still do not know what happened to him.
"The point is important, given the circumstances. Last season it was not easy to win here, either. We had to suffer, so in the end we can be satisfied with the draw."
