Boubacar Kamara - Page 2 - Soccer News, Rumors, & Updates

Option to face Juventus Kamara (undisclosed) is an option for Wednesday's match against Juventus, according to manager Unai Emery. "In the squad, we include Boubacar."

Impact Kamara will only miss one game due to his current issues, as he looks to now be fit after being announced as an option for Wednesday. This is solid news for the midfielder, as he will see a quick return, already missing nine games to start the season due to injury. He will likely serve off the bench to begin, only starting in one of his five appearances this campaign.

Impact Kamara will sit out another match after missing out just ahead of the break, as he continues to deal with discomfort. The club has given little on his situation, leaving a return date up in the air. He still has only started in one of his five appearances, so this isn't a major loss for the club.

Impact It's unclear if Kamara is actually dealing with an injury or not, but it doesn't sound as if he's dealing with a significant problem. He'll have nearly two weeks to recover in case he did pick up an injury, with Villa's next game coming against Crystal Palace on Nov. 23.

Plays full 90 Wednesday Kamara started and played the full 90 in Wednesday's 2-1 Carabao Cup loss to Crystal Palace.

Impact Kamara saw his first start in some time Wednesday, with the midfielder having last earned a start for Villa in early February due to an extended absence with knee issues. That said, this is great news for the club, as he was a regular starter in the previous campaign. He will look to return to that spot soon, although that would mean he would have to bounce Amadou Onana from that starting XI.

Trains Tuesday Kamara (knee) trained Tuesday but isn't an option to face Bayern Munich on Wednesday, according to manager Unai Emery. "Boubacar is training but is not going to play tomorrow."

Impact Kamara is finally training again, leaving a return on the horizon. It could take place on Sunday when facing Manchester United, although that is still up in the air. That said, there is a solid chance he will be held out until after the international break to be cautious.

Impact Kamara has been progressing well in full team training following his return from a knee injury. The next step will be a trial with the U21 team. From there, the midfielder will be reassessed again after the October international break, where he will aim to make the trip tp Fulham on Oct 19, if all goes well.

Training in full Kamara (knee) is in team training every day, according to manager Unai Emery. "Kamara and Mings are training every day now consistently with the team, they started this week,"

Impact Kamara is in full team training and is nearing a return from a long-term knee issue. It's possible he's back before the end of September, potentially as soon as a Sunday trip to Ipswich. With this sort of recovery it's likely he's given a game or two off the bench to test his knee at match speed before fighting for a start.

Impact Kamara is coming back from a knee issue, but made it back in training earlier in the week. He's been ruled out for a Tuesday trip to Young Boys, as well as a Saturday clash with Wolves. That said he could be back by the end of September, potentially targeting a return against Ipswich Town.

Back in training Kamara (knee) is back in training, according to John Townley of Birmingham Live.

Impact Kamara returned to full team training Tuesday as he works back from his knee injury. It's a great sign for the midfielder, though he likely won't be thrown straight back into the starting XI. He could be ready for some sort of minutes off the bench coming out of the international break.

Expected to train soon Kamara (knee) is expected to return to training in the coming weeks, according to manager Unai Emery. "Kamara is progressing a lot, I think now is the sixth month since he was inju...

Impact Kamara still has another month if not more before he'll be ready for the first-team squad. Given the surgery and time off, he'll need to get back full strength and fitness before he can be an option again, which could mean multiple weeks of full training before Emery is comfortable putting him on the pitch. Amadou Onana figures to continue in the XI in his place.

AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ends season injured Kamara started and appeared in 20 games, registering one assist on 20 chances created to go along with 15 clearances, 21 interceptions and 43 tackles.

Impact Kamara had his season upended early, as he has been out since February due to a torn ACL, likely being out for the first two or three months of the next season as well. However, when he was on the field, he was a mainstay in the midfield, supporting a much bigger part of the defense but still adding some in the attack with his one assist. He should return next season still holding a decent spot, likely needing a little time off the bench before fully securing his starting role again.

JUNE 3, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Undergoes surgery Kamara (knee) underwent surgery Thursday, manager Unai Emery announced.

Impact Kamara is set to miss up to nine months with the ACL injury after a successful surgery Thursday. The midfielder will miss the opening stages of the 2024/25 season but should be back in October, or potentially November depending on the speed of his recovery.

FEBRUARY 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

ACL injury confirmed Kamara's season is over due to an ACL injury, manager Unai Emery confirmed. "And now it's the same with Boubacar Kamara, his injury is ACL."

Impact Kamara may not make it back in time for the 2024/25 season either, as he target a return in October. The defensive midfielder will be a major loss for the final months of the season after being one of the first names on the team sheet when fit. Kamara finishes the 2023/24 campaign with one assist, 20 chances created and 43 tackles in 20 appearances (all starts.)

Aston Villa's Boubacar Kamara could miss rest of season with injury, damaging his Euro 2024 hopes

Aston Villa’s ambitions of qualifying for the Champions League have taken a hit with the club saying Boubacar Kamara has sustained a “significant knee ligament injury.”

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • Associated Press

Injury deemed serious Kamara has been declared to have suffered a significant knee ligament injury following his early exit from Sunday's 2-1 loss to Manchester United, the club confirmed Monday.

Impact Kamara's injury did not look good to start, and those concerns were confirmed Monday, now being set for a period on the sidelines due to a knee issue. The midfielder is still yet to undergo further inspection with a knee specialist, so a timetable for his return is still unknown, but he can be expected to miss anywhere from one month to the rest of the season. This will be a massive loss for Villa moving forward, now being without one of their regular starters in the midfield during the middle of somewhat of a slouch, dropping points in three of their past five matches after once being in the title race. Youri Tielemans and Jacob Ramsey will be his most likely replacements while he is out, with Nicolo Zaniolo also being an option despite playing more in an attacking role.

Leaves match early Kamara was forced off the field in the 65th minute of play during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Manchester United due to an apparent knee injury, with manager Unai Emery telling reporters,...

Impact Kamara may be one of Villa's newest critical players to be heading for the injury report, looking to have suffered a knee injury in Sunday's loss. This is a brutal blow for the club, as they have now lost two of their regular starters in back-to-back weeks, with Ezri Konsa also being out until March due to a knee issue. They will now be forced to lean on Jacob Ramsey, Nicolo Zaniolo and Youri Tielemans more in the starting XI until Kamara is fit for a return, as it is still unknown how long the player will be out, having yet to undergo medical tests Monday following the injury.

FEBRUARY 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Suspension finally served Kamara is an option for their match against Everton on Jan. 14 after serving a three-match suspension.

Impact Kamara is back in the mix for Villa, having served his three-match ban after receiving a straight red card for grabbing the neck of a player from Brentford back on Dec. 17. There is a good chance he will return to the starting XI against the Toffees, as he has only missed out on four starts all season, each of them being due to a suspension.

Sent off for violent conduct Kamara was sent off in the second half of Sunday's match against Brentford.

Impact Kamara was shown a straight red card for violent conduct after putting his hands around the neck of another player. Kamara had just returned from a one match suspension earlier in the month and will now face a likely three match ban.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back from one-game suspension Kamara served his one-game suspension and will be available to face Manchester City on Wednesday.

Impact Kamara didn't play against Bournemouth due to the suspension, but he should slot in his regular role in central midfield to face the Citizens. Kamara has started in every one of his previous league appearances, so he's pretty much a lock to return to the side Wednesday.

DECEMBER 4, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Shown fifth yellow Sunday Kamara was given a yellow card in the 38th minute of Sunday's 2-1 victory versus Tottenham Hotspur, his fifth booking of the season which results in a one-match suspension.

Impact Kamara will be suspended for next Sunday's match at Bournemouth after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season at Tottenham. In Sunday's match he recorded his first shot on target of the season, in addition to winning two tackle and intercepting one pass in his full 90 minutes of action.

NOVEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Mainstay in the midfield Kamara has contributed 21 tackles, nine chances created, eight interceptions and three clearances through eight matches this season.

Impact Kamara has been a regular starter for Villa once again this season, starting in all eight of their matches this campaign. He has started in the holding midfielder role most of the season, receiving most of his production in the defense with his 21 tackles, eight interceptions and three clearances. The 23-year-old has struggled to create any goal-scoring opportunities this campaign, notching zero despite having nine chances created. However, he only had one goal contribution last season through 24 appearances and will now try to top that very minuscule amount this season.

OCTOBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Passes fitness test Kamara is fit and in the starting XI for Sunday's match against Wolverhampton.

Impact Kamara returns from an undisclosed injury which saw him miss mid week action in the UEFA Conference League. The midfielder takes up a role alongside John McGinn and Douglas Luiz in Villa's midfield three set up.
