Fulham striker Aboubakar Kamara arrested after fight at club’s training ground

Fulham striker Aboubakar Kamara was arrested on suspicion of causing actual bodily harm on Monday following a shocking fight at the club’s training ground.

Police were called to Fulham’s base in Motspur Park, New Malden, early on Monday evening due to reports of an altercation involving the French striker.

Kamara had been banished from first-team training by manager Claudio Ranieri for being a disruptive influence, but Sportsmail sources claim he arrived at the training ground on Monday intent on resolving his future with Fulham chief executive Alistair Mackintosh.

The visit ended with Kamara being arrested by police, who were called to the scene as the player became embroiled in a violent confrontation with a staff member.

The altercation happened in full view of other Fulham employees, some of whom have given statements to police.

A spokesman for the Metropolitan Police said: ‘Police were called to a training ground in New Malden, shortly after 17.00hrs on Monday, 21 January to reports of a fight. Officers attended.

‘One man, in his 20s, was arrested on suspicion of ABH and criminal damage.

‘He was taken into custody at a south London police station and subsequently released under investigation.’

The incident is the latest controversy to have engulfed the 23-year-old in recent weeks. Kamara was allegedly involved in a fight with team-mate Aleksandar Mitrovic earlier this month during a team yoga session.

Trouble was sparked when Kamara broke the silence and started talking during what was supposed to be a tranquil session.

Mitrovic told him in no uncertain terms to ‘shut up’ and the pair had to be pulled away by other squad members.

An on-pitch spat with Mitrovic over a penalty in the win against Huddersfield in December was another contentious incident.

Kamara wrestled the ball from Mitrovic to take a spot-kick but ended up missing, much to the disgust of Ranieri. Mitrovic saved Kamara’s blushes by scoring a winner in stoppage time.

Manager Ranieri has frozen Kamara out of his plans, with the striker being linked with a move to Turkey.

He arrived at Craven Cottage in a £5.4million move from French side Amiens in the summer of 2017, scored seven times in the Championship for Fulham but has managed just three Premier League goals this season.
