Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard is confident that Samuel Eto'o will prove his worth to the club.

The Cameroon striker, a US$29.5 million signing from Real Mallorca, has scored only one goal in four league games for his new club.

"Eto'o has worked for the team and patience is all that's needed for him to start scoring.

"That's why I'm not worried about it," Rijkaard said.

Eto'o, the reigning African Footballer of the Year, scored 48 goals in four seasons for Mallorca and will play against them in a league tie on Sunday.
