Arsenal<\/a> midfielder Alex Song<\/a> remains a member of the Cameroon<\/a> national team amid rumours the player had been kicked out of the team after he fell out with captain Samuel Eto\u2019o<\/a> yesterday in a Yaound\u00e9 hotel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cameroon Football Federation (Fecafoot) media officer Junior Binyam told Goal.com<\/strong> the 23-year-old was only relieved from preparations for the Cameroon-Senegal clash after an injury picked up during a club match was confirmed by the Indomitable Lions’ medics.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMany felt Alex Song was using a fake injury to snub the invitation to camp for Senegal match, but a verification of the medical report by our medical staff confirmed the player\u2019s injury,\u201d Binyam said.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was therefore allowed to leave while the rest of the team continues preparation. He was never sacked from the Lions\u2019 outfit like some rumours have had it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

State TV Crtv<\/em> reported on Wednesday that Eto\u2019o did not show up for the day\u2019s training session because he had an altercation with Song at the players\u2019 hotel, which prompted Sports Minister Michel Zoah to hold a brief meeting with both.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nothing filtered out of the meeting, but Binyam says existing differences between the players have been ironed out, allaying fears that the tensions might jeopardise the Lions\u2019 preparations for Saturday\u2019s match, dubbed as do or die for Cameroon.<\/span><\/p>\n

Both teams are meeting for the 2012 African Cup of Nations qualifying fourth round game. Senegal humbled Cameroon 1-0 in their first meeting in Dakar last March to top Group E with nine points, while Cameroon and DR Congo are tied on four points.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
