Cameroon’s 54-goal all-time leading scorer Samuel Eto’o has announced his retirement from international football.
It means the 33-year-old, who joined Everton on Tuesday, will miss the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations in January in Morocco – should Cameroon qualify.
The decision comes after he was dropped from Volker Finke’s latest squad and lost the captaincy to Stephane Mbia.
“I wish to inform you that I hereby put a definitive end to my international career,” he said on his Instagram page.
“On this occasion, I wish to thank all Africans in particular and all my fans around the world for their love and unconditional support.”
