Barca dominate African shortlist

Samuel Eto'o and his ex-Barcelona team-mates Yaya Toure and Seydou Keita have been named on the shortlist for Caf's African Footballer of the Year award.


All three contributed to Barcelona's unique treble of domestic league and cup, plus the European Champions League title last season.
Eto'o will be the favourite to win the title again, having won the crown three times before.

Chelsea pair Didier Drogba and Michael Essien complete the list.
Eto'o, Toure, Drogba and Essien all helped their countries - Cameroon, Ivory Coast and Ghana - to reach the 2010 World Cup and the Africa Cup of Nations.

Togo's Emmanuel Adebayor was last year's winner.
