Austria welcomes on Wednesday in a friendly match four times Africa champion Cameroon. The top star of the guests is Inter Mailand player Samuel Eto´o.
Samuel Eto´o played last season for FC Barcelona and won with the Catalans the triple (UEFA Champions League, Primera Division and Copa del Rey). Eto´o scored 30 league goals and also 4 goals in the UEFA Champions League. This transfer time he changed to Inter Mailand. In the World Cup qualifier Cameroon starts the final phase with 1 draw and 1 defeat. Hence, Paul Le Guen replaced Thomas Nkono as Cameroon head-coach. In the squad for the friendly match against Austria stands also Somen Tschoyi, current midfielder of Austrian champion Red Bull Salzburg.
The Austrian team succeeded 2 surprising wins in the World Cup qualifier (3-1 vs France and 2-1 vs Romania). However, the chance to qualify for FIFA World Cup 2010 in South Africa is on a minimum, because Austria lost important points against Lithuania (0-2) and Faroe Islands (1-1). Against Cameroon Erwin "Jimmy" Hoffer should score the goals. Hoffer transferred this summer from Rapid Wien to SSC Napoli. Not in squad is Austria Wien forward Rubin Okotie (injured). He will be substituted by LASK player Roman Wallner.
