Mexico has called up 11 players for a friendly against Venezuela despite the players asking not be considered for international duty because of an argument about discipline.
The 11 players were fined by the Mexican Football Federation (FMF) for breaches of discipline during a party held after a friendly with Colombia in September.
The players sent a letter to the FMF saying they were unhappy the incident had been made public and that the punishments were unfair, asking not to be considered for international duty until directors' attitude changed.
It is unclear whether they will report for duty.
