The best rookie of the 2022-23 season. Last season, Boubacar Kamara made his first notable steps in the Premier League. Recruited by Aston Villa, where Steven Gerrard wet his jersey to convince him to come, the versatile midfielder quickly conquered England. He thus ended the previous year with a nice record of 26 matches in all competitions, including 23 as a starter (1 assist). This 2023-24 season, the former OM player was expected.
Many hoped that he would confirm after his more than successful first exercise. And he did it, he who is an essential part of Unai Emery’s team. Impressive in the midfield, where his aggression, his impact and his aggressiveness are appreciated, he played 28 matches, including 27 as a starter. Time to score 1 goal and deliver 1 assist. But we won’t see Frenchy on the field again for several months. The Athletic revealed that he injured his right knee yesterday against Manchester United (2-1 defeat).
An injury that stops Kamara in full swing
Released in the 65th minute, he suffered a ruptured anterior cruciate ligament. We confirmed to you very quickly that Kamara was injured quite seriously. A few minutes later, his club issued a press release. “Aston Villa can confirm that Boubacar Kamara has suffered a significant knee ligament injury. The midfielder was injured during yesterday’s match against Manchester United and subsequently underwent a scan this morning. Kamara’s condition will be re-examined, before a new consultation with a knee specialist.
This is a huge blow for the 24-year-old footballer, who will not play again this season according to The Athletic. The English media speaks of an absence of 5 months. If the diagnosis is confirmed, Boubacar Kamara will miss Euro 2024, which he hopes to play with the Blues. In 2022, he had already missed the World Cup in Qatar.

This summer, Kamara could therefore miss a new crucial meeting.
