The President of Cameroon Paul Biya has persuaded Samuel Eto’o to reconsider retiring from international football. The Chelsea striker Samuel Eto’o will join up with Cameroon squad for next week’s 2014 World Cup Africa Zone play-off in Tunisia.

Eto’o, who quit the ‘Indomitable Lions’ last month, will now be available to face Tunisia on October 13 followed by the return leg November 17.

The chelsea striker said: “You can have all the problems in the world but you have to see out your mission.

“And this time it’s to join my team-mates in Tunisia and return with a good result.”

Eto’o, who made his debut for Cameroon in 1997, has regularly disagreed with Cameroon coaches and was banned last year after inciting a bonus-related boycott of a friendly in Algeria.
