Eto'o in dispute with Mallorca
Samuel Eto'o Fils was one of Mallorca's best players last season
Eto'o is angry with his new coach
Real Mallorca's Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o Fils walked out of a training session on Thursday, in protest against an order made by his new manager.

Eto'o is said to have been incensed by Portuguese coach Jaime Pacheco's refusal to let him swap his shorts for tracksuit trousers, after he had complained about the cold weather.

Eto'o is in Birmingham with Mallorca on the club's 12-day pre-season tour of England.

The latest dispute could hasten the striker's departure from the Spanish club.

Eto'o's impressive form in last season's Liga campaign has made him the transfer target of several clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea and Valencia.

The 22-year-old played in the Cameroon team that won the last two African Nations Cups and the gold medal at the 2000 Olympics in Sydney.
