Samuel
Eto'o was named in Cameroon's 25-man squad for next month's World Cup
playoff in Tunisia on Friday despite media reports saying he had retired
from international football.
Cameroon's
long-standing captain announced he was quitting for "family reasons" in
the dressing room after they beat Libya earlier this month to clinch a
playoff berth,
He
made no public announcement, however, and Cameroon coach Volke Finke
shrugged it off, saying the 32-year-old Chelsea striker was the right
man to lead the team in their bid to qualify for an African record
seventh World Cup finals.
The striker has had a turmoil-filled career with the Indomitable
Lions and made previous threats to quit the side. He played for
Cameroon at the 1998, 2002 and 2010 World Cups.
Cameroon
have named a strong squad for the first leg of the playoff at the Rades
Stadium on the outskirts of Tunis on October 13.
