This March at 6:45 p.m., Aston Villa joins the 2024-25 Champions League campaign. On this first day, Unai Emery's troops will challenge Young Boys Bern and try to take their first points in the competition. A trip they will make without Boubacar Kamara. Since February 11, the Villans have had to do without the French international. Indeed, it is a serious blessing for the 11th day before Manchester United (2-1). Coming off the field in the 65th minute, the former OM player worried the whole world. The next day, the English-language document confirms the new language for the reason of a press release published on the official website.
A new milestone recently reached
« Aston Villa can confirm that Boubacar Kamara has suffered a significant knee ligament injury. The pitch environment is blessed for the game here against Manchester United and is located in a scanner in the morning. The camera image has been re-examined, before a further consultation with a knee specialist. » A huge coup for the Villans and especially for the game, which means goodbye to Euro 2024 after the end of the 2022 World Cup in Lyon. The first echoes from England mentioned an absence of around eight months, or just November at least.
Determined to come back stronger, the versatile midfielder began his rehabilitation, between England, Dubai (three months) and Clairefontaine. He also enjoys his free time with his children and his children. The following season, a new phase is reached in the Healing process. Indeed, Aston Villa revealed that the Frenchman has joined the team to participate in the start of collective training. This is a first this season. Kamara's current son, who was working in class, was in the same club, which currently occupied the last place in the Premier League standings (3 wins and 1 defeat). Unai Emery is also happy for him. “Very good news. Tyrone Mings and Boubacar Kamara have started training with us. I spend a lot of time available in two seasons for a good part of the team and I start on the same day.
An expected return
In his absence, Spanish technology is being used to find other solutions at the entrance as well as English football specialist Salim Baungally. “When he got injured, there were several possibilities for Unai Emery. You can bring back Youri Tielemans or John McGinn alongside Douglas Ruiz, where Kamara is now, and the Kamara-Douglas Ruiz pairing is the same starting pairing. But Douglas Ruiz left and now you have Amadou Onana who has become an important part of this team in the middle with Tielemans, who plays in this second six role and it’s going quite well. When you look at Villa’s performances after the start of the season, you see that he is working with a more defensive player, Amadou Onana, and a player with a more project, Tielemans. The reason is to compensate for the moment of absence of Kamara, who is also above and it concerns the quality of the performance.”
He continues: « When Kamara comes back, it's going to be a big job for the new guy to be able to take up his position alongside Onana, who seems almost unshakeable even though he's only just arrived. Don't get too interested in your comment about Kamara to talk about it to a group. Unai Emery really likes this player's technique. It's a variation of a recovery technique that's well above average. The coach also appreciates his calm. On the pitch, he exudes serenity. » He also adds that the environment is impressive, with its aggression, its impact, its intelligence and the ownership of the game which is appetizing. A potential starter before his injury, Boubacar Kamara intends to resume his momentum, he who has often been praised in England since his arrival.
