LONDON (AP) — Fulham striker Aboubakar Kamara was banished by the Premier League club on Wednesday after getting arrested for an incident at its training ground in south London.
British newspaper The Daily Mail reported that Kamara was involved in a fight with a member of staff at Fulham on Monday.
In response to a request for comment on the incident involving Kamara, Fulham said in a statement that "the subject who was arrested is banned indefinitely from Motspur Park and all club activities."
Fulham said it will cooperate with any investigation "in the name of providing everyone a secure and safe working environment."
London's Metropolitan Police said in a statement that officers were called to Fulham's training ground on Monday following reports of a fight, and that a man in his 20s was arrested on suspicion of actual bodily harm and criminal damage.
The police said the man has been released but is still under investigation.
Kamara, a 23-year-old Frenchman, was reported to have been involved in a fight with teammate Aleksandar Mitrovic during a team yoga session this month.
On Dec. 29, he ignored team orders and took a penalty, which was subsequently saved, in a 1-0 victory over Huddersfield in the Premier League. Kamara argued with Mitrovic over who should take the spot kick and Fulham manager Claudio Ranieri said after the match that he wanted to "kill" Kamara, accusing him of lacking respect for his club and teammates.
