Boubacar Kamara - officially signed new 5 year contract.

[Villafirst]

Any idea when Bouba will be fit? Some reports say October or November. His injury didn't look anywhere near as severe as Tyrone's. I remember him walking off with a slight limp against Manure in February. Didn't look too serious at the time. I wonder if he sustained a partial tear of his ACL and not a full rupture like Ty.? If so, his recovery time will be shorter fingers crossed. He certainly is missed in the DM role. Some suggestions I've seen state he'll partner Onana as a double pivot when fit?

[Mellin]

This is the main injury which caused results to drop off at the end of last season. We're in a better position to cover him now, but still need him back ASAP.

I agree, he and Tyrone are a huge loss at present.

[Mellin]

Yeah, Mings too. Goals conceded last season against the season before attests to that. Miracle we finished fourth, really.

With other injuries Kamara had, he recovered faster than was expected and his age is in his favour. Hopefully he's back sooner than expected, but there's a big difference between being back on the grass and getting back to your best.

Also, he will have missed pre-season which is crucial - look what happened with Jacob Ramsey last season. But, as you say  he appears to be a quick healer. I still can't believe we had 3 players with ACL's last season! Remarkable that we finished 4th!

With Kamara he has been most unfortunate with injuries.
Especially since arriving at Villa.
I'm wondering if the physical demands are too much ? Is he robust enough?
In 22/23 Missed 17 games had 3 injuries
23/24 missed 21 games with his knee injury
This season he's going to miss 10 or so games at least

Which is why we have Barrenechea and Onana in the squad now. Hopefully BK will get all the time he needs to recover fully.

[Dogtanian]

We have a big, boub-shaped hole in our midfield.

[eamonn]

Can we update the thread title, he's not out for the season anymore?

[OCD]

A lot of people will have missed it so it's worth putting in here...in his pre-match interview, Emery mentioned in passing that Kamara will be back next month.

[pablo_picasso]

That will be a huge boost to the squad... Him & Onana could be something quite special...

That would be incredible.

No fucking way!!

Brilliant news

He mentioned one time that Buendia would be back by March. I suspect the "back" might be for light training, and not for actually being in contention for playing.
