Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou and West Bromwich Albion defender Abdoulaye Meite were dropped for Ivory Coast's win over Guinea at the weekend as a punishment for fighting in training.
The Elephants had already qualified for next summer's World Cup in South Africa but went on to win the game in style anyway, triumphing 3-0.
The pair have drawn a line under the incident but could also be omitted from the friendly with Germany in Gelsenkirchen on Wednesday night.
"Things got a little heated but we are human and these things can happen to us," Meite said, according to The Sporting Life.

"Things got a little heated but we are human and these things can happen to us," Meite said, according to The Sporting Life.
"But in the end we understood that we have to preserve the spirit in the squad and so it's all forgotten now."
Kalou added: "Meite is a big brother, I have apologised and he has accepted it.
"It's a pity that it was between Abdoulaye and myself. We were punished and I have accepted that and that's how we move on.
"You recognise your mistake and you learn - we've talked and it's over."
