Just one day after claiming he needed a miracle to play, Samuel Eto'o opened the door on Tuesday to his possible participation for Cameroon against Croatia in Manaus on Wednesday.
The 33-year-old striker and captain of his country seemed to have all but given up hope on Monday but 24 hours later he suggested his previous stance had been nothing but mind-games. "I can't give you a satisfactory answer," he told reporters. "And even if I knew, I wouldn't say.
"Football is also about little pre-match secrets. It's a strategy, it's normal, all teams do this. I am hoping the gods grant me a miracle and that I am able to defend my dear, beautiful country," Eto'o told Cameroon Radio-Television (CRTV).
"If this is not the case, I will always play my role as captain and especially as the big brother to push my young team-mates to victory." He then followed that up with a later tweet adding: "The doctors have confirmed it! I probably won't play."
