Won't return against Man United Kamara (ankle) will miss out versus Manchester United on Sunday after manager Unai Emery told reporters, "Boubacar Kamara is close. The four players are out."

Impact Kamara has found himself presented with favorable news less than a month before the World Cup begins as he was originally expected to miss the competition entirely.

At club level, Leander Dendoncker and Douglas Luiz will provide competition for minutes once Kamara is cleared to play.
