Barcelona - Striker Samuel Eto'o returned to FC Barcelona on Thursday, two days late and carrying an injury sustained at the African Cup of Nations.

Eto'o was to undergo tests after straining a muscle in his left leg while playing for Cameroon in the 1-0 loss to Egypt in last Sunday's final.

Eto'o is doubtful for Barcelona's visit to Zaragoza on Saturday.

Barcelona has struggled for goals in the striker's absence, netting just five times in seven matches.

Eto'o set an African Cup of Nations record on Jan 30 by scoring his 15th and 16th career goals in Cameroon's 3-0 victory over Sudan.

Barcelona are second with 48 points from 23 games and trails leader Real Madrid by eight points. On Wednesday they visit Celtic in the first leg of a Champions League second-round match.
