MANAUS Brazil (Reuters) - Cameroon's Indomitable Lions must improve on a toothless display in their opening match when they face Croatia in the hot and humid Amazon city of Manaus in Group A on Wednesday while having to cope with the loss of pack leader Samuel Eto’o.

The four-time African Footballer of the Year has been ruled out of the clash due to a knee injury.
