Aston Villa’s midfielder Boubacar Kamara will miss the remainder of the season due to a knee injury. The 26-year-old sustained the injury during the early minutes of Villa’s 2-1 FA Cup win against Tottenham Hotspur on January 10.
Boubacar Kamara’s Injury Details
Initial reports indicated Kamara would be sidelined for two to three weeks. However, concerns grew as manager Unai Emery hinted at a longer absence during the pre-match press conference ahead of the game against Everton.
- Player: Boubacar Kamara
- Age: 26

- Date of Injury: January 10

Impact of Kamara’s Absence
Kamara’s injury poses a significant setback for Aston Villa’s aspirations for Champions League qualification. The French international has faced multiple injury concerns since joining the club in 2022, including an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture in February 2024, which sidelined him for eight months.
As Villa prepares for their upcoming Europa League match against Fenerbahce on Thursday, the team must adapt without one of their key players. Kamara is a vital part of Emery’s setup, known for controlling the midfield and countering opponent attacks.
The squad is already dealing with midfield injuries to Ross Barkley and Amadou Onana, although both players are expected to return soon. Kamara’s strong performances alongside Onana and Youri Tielemans were instrumental in Villa’s recent successes, making the need for reinforcements in the January transfer window crucial.
