Forced off holding hamstring Kamara was forced off in the 16th minute of Saturday's match against Brentford due to an apparent hamstring injury.

Impact Kamara would barely make it 15 minutes Saturday before going to ground with an injury, appearing to suffer a hamstring injury after holding that spot when walking off the field. This could be a tough loss for the club if he misses extended time, as he is a regular starter in the back half of the defense. The club is a bit low on first-team midfielders, so his replacement, Emiliano Buendia, is a likely replacement moving forward, while either John McGinn or Youri Tielemans drops to a more defensive role.

Inks new deal with Villa Kamara has inked an extension with Aston Villa, according to his club.

Impact Kamara is earning an extension this offseason, with the midfielder signing a deal until 2030. He started in 20 of his 26 league appearances last season while earning a goal from his mainly defensive role and only ever missing out due to injury. He will likely continue in this role, a solid midfielder in the top flight of English football.

Majority of work in holding role Kamara started in 20 of his 26 appearances while notching one goal on 10 shots in the Premier League.

Impact Kamara saw a similar role to the previous campaign, just with a bit more time, earning 1,700 minutes of play in the league. He would also match his goal contribution tally of one from the previous season with one, waiting until late into the season with a goal in the penultimate match. He is entering year four of his five-year deal and is likely to maintain this role, although he and Amadou Onana did share some time, with that role possibly open for one to take over full time, along with Youri Tielemans in the defensive half of the midfield.
