Ranieri forgives Kamara for penalty sulk ahead of Arsenal trip

Fulham boss Claudio Ranieri is keen to put the circumstances around Aboubakar Kamara's missed penalty against Huddersfield Town firmly in the past.

The 23-year-old ignored orders from the Italian to allow strike-partner Aleksandar Mitrovic to take a late spot-kick when the scores were goalless at Craven Cottage.

Jonas Lossl saved Kamara's effort and though Mitrovic fired home a winner in stoppage time, Ranieri admitted he "wanted to kill" him after the miss.

Kamara was threatened with being dropped for the trip to Arsenal on New Year's Day but Ranieri says that after a heartfelt apology to the rest of the squad the episode is over.
