Ex-Cameroon international Samuel Eto’o is in stable condition after he was involved in a road accident around Nkongsamba-Douala road in Cameroon.
The former Barcelona and Inter Milan forward was returning from a wedding celebration when his car was hit by a public transport bus on Sunday morning.
The 39-year-old was immediately moved to a hospital but his car was badly damaged.
“The crushed car Samuel Eto’o was in. I can confirm that he is fine, we spoke again. Doctors taking care of additional examinations,” a Cameroonian journalist tweeted.
The Barcelona legend suffered a head injury but no life was lost in the crash, according to France Football.
Eto’o who is a special adviser to CAF President Ahmad Ahmad announced his retirement from football in September 2019 after a playing career that spanned 22 years.
He is Cameroon’s all-time top scorer with 56 goals and the second-most capped player with 118 appearances after Rigobert Song (137 caps).
