The Barca's official website said that the 26-year old player did some warm-ups with the physios and then joined the rest of the group.

Eto'o took part to a mini-game and scored three goals to get a warm welcome from his teammates.

The Barcelona number 9 played only one game this season because of his leg injury that kept him out for almost four months last season also.

His return should boost the Catalan's offensive power especially that the team has struggled a lot out of the Camp Nou winning only one of their six away encounters.
