Striker Samuel Eto'o has been included in Cameroon's final World Cup squad and backed by the country's football federation after he threatened to skip the tournament following criticism by former great Roger Milla.
Coach Paul Le Guen named Eto'o captain in his final 23-man group for South Africa following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Slovakia in a friendly in Austria.
Cameroon Football Federation president Iya Mohammed then said Sunday in a statement that it "fully supports the national coach Paul Le Guen, captain Samuel Eto'o and all of our national team."
The Inter Milan forward had threatened to walk out after Milla said Eto'o had achieved much for his European clubs but failed to match the achievements playing for Cameroon.
