Inter’s Samuel Eto’o and two of his Cameroon team-mates face disciplinary proceedings launched by Fecafoot, the country’s football federation.

“Three players have been summoned by the disciplinary committee,” the Fecafoot official, speaking on condition of anonymity, told AFP.

“They are Eto’o, Benoit Assou-Ekotto and Alexandre Song.”

Eto’o has been summoned because “he didn’t train after an incident with Alexandre Song and interfered in the substitution of a player in the Cameroon-Senegal match (on June 4),” explained the official.

During the match in question, a 0-0 draw in a 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier here, Eto’o openly expressed his dissatisfaction when forward Eric Choupo-Moting was replaced by full-back Henri Bedimo.

“If I cause disciplinary problems in the national team, they should punish me,” Eto’o said last Sunday.

Arsenal defensive midfielder Song has been summoned due to “the incident with Eto’o,” according to the same source.

A few days prior to the Senegal match, Song – who was making his return to the Cameroon squad after being excluded following last year’s World Cup – refused to shake Eto’o’s out-stretched hand. “Don’t give this incident more importance than it deserves,” Song said.

The Cameroonian media believe that Eto’o was responsible for the exclusion of some of his team-mates, including Song, after their disappointing groupstage elimination at last year’s World Cup.

Assou-Ekotto has been asked to explain why he did not send a “note” justifying his absence from the June 4 match, despite having received a call-up.
