KURT ZOUMA’S brother was all smiles as he reunited with his team-mates following a suspension over the cat kicking video shame.
Yoan Zouma recorded the West Ham defender as he assaulted the pet in a shock video revealed by The Sun.
Dagenham & Redbridge banned their centre-back after condemning his reactions and involvement in the disgraceful incident.
The younger Zouma brother apologised unreservedly as he was embroiled in the RSPCA investigation.
The Daggers said last month: “The club has decided that until the RSPCA has completed its investigations, Yoan will not play for Dagenham & Redbridge in any competitive match.”
However, the defender, 23, was back in Dagenham & Redbridge’s squad for Tuesday’s night’s National League clash at Yeovil Town.
He was an unused sub as Daryl McMahon’s side secured back-to-back 3-0 wins.
A video posted on social media showed a delighted Zouma in his Daggers tracksuit, a coat and backpack walking down the team bus shaking hands with his pals and beating his chest.
The clip was captioned: “They freed the boy Zouma,” followed by a laughing emoji.
Kurt, however, was not suspended by West Ham and featured in their 1-0 win over Watford immediately after he was exposed.
After missing the 2-2 draw at Leicester through illness in the warm-up, he has since played the full 90 minutes against Newcastle, Wolves, Southampton and Liverpool.
However, both Zouma brothers could still face charges.
As reported this week, West Ham expect their defender to be prosecuted for animal cruelty by the RSPCA – while his brother may be punished for filming and uploading the footage on Snapchat.
The Daily Mail say the organisation has almost finished its investigation and West Ham are ‘braced’ for a prosecution.
