Aston Villa Midfielder Kamara Expected To Miss Weeks With Hamstring Injury

Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara suffered a minor hamstring injury during the club's 1-0 loss to Brentford, forcing him off the pitch early in the match. Initial scans indicate the injury is not severe, with Kamara expected to miss two to three weeks, ruling him out of Villa's upcoming game against Crystal Palace but possibly allowing a return after the September international break, for the match against Everton. Kamara recently extended his contract with Villa until 2030, underscoring his importance to the team. His absence increases tactical pressures on manager Unai Emery, who may adjust midfield roles involving players like Amadou Onana and Youri Tielemans. Despite Villa's struggles early in the season, including just one point from two matches, the club remains hopeful that Kamara's recovery will be swift. The injury timing is somewhat mitigated by the international break, giving Villa a brief window for his rehabilitation.
