Belo Horizonte:
Samuel Eto'o has missed two days of training with an injured knee and is battling to be fit for Cameroon's World Cup Group A game against Croatia, coach Volker Finke said.
"He has a problem with the right knee that he already had at the end of the season with his club Chelsea," Finke told a press conference on Sunday.
"He did not train yesterday nor today," the coach added.
The 33-year-old striker had a quiet game in Cameroon's 1-0 Group A defeat to Mexico on Friday and was not even present at team training at Vitoria, near Belo Horizonte, on Sunday a photographer said.
Cameroon play Croatia on Wednesday in Manaus needing a victory to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the last 16. They play their last group game against Brazil on June 23.
