World Cup 2014: Cameroon's Eto'o likely to miss Croatia match

Cameroon captain Samuel Eto'o is almost certain to miss Wednesday's World Cup game against Croatia because of injury. 

Eto'o has not trained for two days and is unlikely to recover in time for the crucial Group A game in Manaus.

The 33-year-old striker wrote on Twitter: "The doctors confirm I will probably not be able to play because of a knee injury that is causing me pain."

Cameroon and Croatia both lost their opening games and are facing early elimination from the tournament.

The Indomitable Lions fell 1-0 to unfancied Mexico , while Croatia were beaten 3-1 by Brazil. and both sides are aware their campaign would be all but ended by a second consecutive defeat.
