Boubacar Kamara - out for the season

[lovejoy]

The ref ducked the big decisions.

[Risso]

Just something that struck me as he came off. As he left the pitch he was between two of the Villa staff, and didn't put any weight on the injured leg. As he was going down the touchline he was walking gingerly on it. Should this be happening? If there's any chance of it being a nasty one, shouldn't he be helped off in case he damages it further?

This is encouraging. I think. Better than the prayer emoji thingy.

I don't get it, how is that encouraging?

The back soon bit at the top

Seems hopeful rather than encouraging to me. Hope I’m wrong.

Seems hopeful rather than encouraging to me. Hope I’m wrong.

Maybe. I assume the official Twitter would be careful with their messaging. So obviously hopeful on the side of optimistic that it’s only a couple of weeks

[eamonn]

Yes,  we hope it isn't just hopeful.

[Risso]

Didn’t they do similar for Carlos at the start of the season?

[Drummond]

I said at the time that it looked season ending to me. I really hope I'm wrong.

[Goldenballs]

It looked really nasty, ankles don't bend that way and he knew straight away he was in trouble.

[MattW]

Hmmm.

And lastly to the only real blot on proceedings and Boubacar Kamara’s injury sounds a bad one. The Frenchman is due to have a scan today (Sunday) to reveal the full diagnosis. Kamara knew he was in big trouble as Cheick Doucore recklessly jumped in, with the Villa man immediately signalling to the physios.

“It’s the joint between the two bones in the leg. It’s not a clear diagnosis. We will have the assessment tomorrow. It’s not the ankle or the Achilles,” was the briefing reporters got in the press room on Saturday.

Early indications show the issue could well be what’s called syndesmosis, which is defined as: ‘A fibrous joint held together by ligaments. It's located near the ankle joint, between the tibia, or shinbone, and the distal fibula, or outside leg bone

According to health experts, syndesmosis sprains typically require between six and eight weeks for recovery but this is, of course, variable and only based on educated guesses at this stage.’

I'd say he'll miss at least 8 games.

Relatively small squad so see if others step up to the mark. Big shoes to fill.

[ROBBO]

He's the most talented player in the squad, will be greatly missed.

[john2710]

If it's ligaments or a fracture of some sort it'll be a minimum of 6-8 weeks. We'll be lucky to see him in mid May, hope I'm wrong but he'll be missed whatever the timescale.

The ref was far too lenient until it was too late.
