Barcelona’s Samuel Eto’o will be out of action for at least two months after suffering a tear in his right thigh.
The 26-year-old Cameroon striker suffered the injury after coming on as a substitute in Wednesday’s 5-0 victory over Italian champions Internazionale in the Gamper Trophy at the Nou Camp.
Last season Eto’o missed a large part of campaign after injuring his right knee during a Champions League match against Werder Bremen in September 2006.
Barcelona host Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in their first league match at the Nou Camp this season.
