KAMARA ARRESTED

Police detain striker on suspicion of ABH after training-ground bust-up

- By Tony Banks

FULHAM striker Aboubakar Kamara has been arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and criminal damage after a fight at the club’s training ground.

Police were called to their Motspur Park base on Monday after reports of an altercatio­n between the Frenchman and a club security staff member.

Kamara has now been banned from the training ground by manager Claudio Ranieri, who had

already frozen him out for being a disruptive influence after several recent incidents, but the player arrived on Monday apparently intent on talks with chief executive Alistair Mackintosh about his future – only to end up being arrested.

A police statement said: “Police were called to a training ground to reports of a fight. One man, in his twenties, was arrested on suspicion of ABH and criminal damage. Inquiries continue.”

A Fulham statement read: ‘‘The subject who was arrested is banned indefinite­ly from the training ground and all club activities. We will fully co-operate with any new or continuing investigat­ion or legal proceeding in the name of providing everyone a secure and safe working environmen­t.” It is the latest bust-up involving the 23-year-old in recent weeks. He enraged Ranieri, left, in December’s 1-0 win against Huddersfie­ld when he took the ball off regular penalty-taker Aleksandar Mitrovic and missed the spot-kick. Kamara was then allegedly involved in a dispute with Mitrovic in a team yoga session. Ranieri has since banned Kamara from training and he may be sold to Turkish club Yeni Malatyaspo­r.
