"Reviewing the video footage, there definitely is contact between the defender and Kabba," Wings boss Loui Fazakerley told BBC Radio Kent.

"The footballing romantic may have had Lewis Grabban returning to Carrow Road as a Bournemouth player this weekend after their strong interest in the final week of the transfer window but the deal never happened. Howe eventually plumped for Palace’s Glenn Murray so expect him to be in the Cherries squad on Saturday."
