Eto'o would relish playing with Henry at Barca

PARIS, May 16 (Reuters) Cameroon forward Samuel Eto'o says he would not mind playing up front alongside Thierry Henry if the Arsenal striker were to join him at Barcelona.

''I talk to Titi (Thierry) over the phone all the time,'' Eto'o told French soccer magazine France Football in an interview released today.

''If he came to Barca, he would not push me on to the substitutes' bench. We would play together. We would be team mates.'' Henry, who has been linked with a move to Barca, will face Eto'o when Arsenal and Barcelona meet in tomorrow's Champions League final at the Stade de France.

''Not yet,'' Henry told Tuesday's L'Equipe when asked whether he had made a decision regarding his future.

''But there's not much time left before the World Cup so you should find out pretty soon,'' he added.
