Samuel Eto'o is a major doubt for Barcelona's UEFA Champions League clash with Celtic next week.

The Cameroon international returned from the Africa Cup of Nations with a thigh strain and will sit out this weekend's clash with Real Zaragoza.

The club's medical staff are giving Eto'o three days to respond to treatment before deciding whether he will be fit to line up against The Bhoys.

"There is no muscular injury and the player will have three days of specialist treatment to be ready for the Champions League game against Celtic," a Barcelona medical statement read.

"As such, he will be out for this Saturday's Primera Liga encounter."
