Eight months after his serious injury to the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee, the French international is finally ready to return to competition. Kamara was in the squad called up by Unai Emery for Aston Villa’s match against Fulham this Saturday at 4 p.m., although he did not come on. His return to the match sheet is a relief for the player. 24 years old, but also for his coach, who expressed his satisfaction at a press conference: “He is available and will travel with us. I am very happy, it is an important return,” he declared. Emery can also count on the return of defender Tyrone Mings, who has been absent since August due to a knee injury.
A promise for the future
Kamara was injured during a Premier League match against Manchester United on February 11, 2024, which forced him to abandon the Euro in Germany. Playing at Aston Villa since the summer of 2022 after his departure from OM, he has become a key player in the team, forming an effective duo with Douglas Luiz, now a Juventus player. The current season looks promising for Aston Villa, who occupy fifth place in the Premier League after seven days. Furthermore, the club started its Champions League campaign in a positive manner with victories against Young Boys (3-0) and Bayern Munich (1-0). Kamara’s return to the field should further strengthen the team’s ambitions for the remainder of the season. Supporters are looking forward to seeing their midfielder regain his form and impact on the game.
