Samuel Eto'o loses Cameroon captaincy to Stephane M'Bia

By , Reporter
A statement from the Cameroon Football Federation confirms that Samuel Eto'o has lost the captaincy to Stephane M'Bia.

The Cameroon Football Federation has confirmed that the captaincy has been taken away from Samuel Eto'o.

Volker Finke revealed a squad on Saturday without Eto'o on the list of names, and it now appears that his international career could be close to ending after the armband was given to Stephane M'Bia.

"Stephane M'Bia [is the] senior national team captain," a statement confirmed. "[He] will be respectively assisted by Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Vincent Aboubakar. M'Bia, Choupo-Moting and Aboubakar replace Samuel Eto'o, Nicolas N'Koulou and Eyong Enoh."

Eto'o is currently without a club after leaving Chelsea at the end of last season, but reports have suggested that he is close to securing a move to Everton.

The 33-year-old, who played just once at the World Cup earlier this summer, has scored 56 goals in 118 appearances for Cameroon.
