Boubacar Kamara

Depends on the Grade of the injury. Grade 1 could be a couple of weeks (the fact he played until the end of the match would put it in this area). Grade 2 - probably more like Ramsey's, where he had to come off  - weeks to a couple of months. Grade 3 - full on tear - months out.

This is Villa mate...

Just pointing out how severe they can be Risso. Apologies.

Risso is pointing out that the correct classification for any hamstring injury is the Forever grade.

Yeah I know mate. It's just that the Villa classification goes something like this:

Grade 1 - The player will be on the bench sometime after the next international break, as long as that international break is either the European Championships or World Cup Finals
Grade 2 - Touch or go whether a full amputation is needed. Gangrene has almost certainly set in, so a stairlift will definitely be needed at home.
Grade 3 - the player has upset the football gods and is hereby cast into the fiery pits of eternal damnation, where their knee joint will be tortured by the demonic hordes for all eternity, or at least until we are awarded a penalty at Anfield, whichever is the shorter.

Grade 4 - put down at the vets surgery in Tamworth

Get the man a new contract.

[LeeS]

Hell of a player. We’ve missed him

[PhilVill]

Superb tonight. Would be really tempted to play Onana and him together in front of Cash, Konsa, Torres and Digne to help get the foundations back in the side... Emi and him, both world class.

[Demitri_C]

Excellent tonight. Has to start sunday

I'm absolutely certain that our best first eleven has all of Onana, Kamara and Tielemans in it.

Agreed, we look so much safer in defence with him in there.

Hard to see how that fits into Unai's usual 4-4-2 though.

Agree, with Ramsey, Watkins and McGinn, Bailey or Rogers as the 3 further forward

Our best run of matches under Emery featured all of Kamara, Luiz, Tielemans and McGinn.

And the best performances that Emery has had with any team have been with a midfield packed with two or three big, solid midfielders who could also pass a bit as well.

If this season ends up being as satisfying as last season, I'm pretty certain that it'll be this sort of midfield re-jig that causes it.

He was excellent and really made a difference. Let's hope he stays fit.
