OUT
Injury Knee
Est. Return 4/11/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Kamara's 2024/25 season was disrupted by a long-term knee injury that forced him to miss the start of the campaign, limiting his ability to build momentum in midfield. When fit, he remains one of Villa's most important ball winners and a key shield for the defensive line. With a full preseason ahead of 2025/26, he'll be hungry to reassert himself into an every-day role that saw him start the final eight matches last season. While good for defensive stats like tackles and interceptions, his upside is capped playing as the deepest player in Villa's midfield.
Could miss rest of season
Kamara (knee) is expected to miss the rest of the season due to an injury, according to Jacob Tanswell from The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Kamara suffered a significant knee injury in the opening minutes of Aston Villa's win against Tottenham in the FA Cup and could be set to miss the rest of the season while recovering. The club previously stated he was expected to miss two to three weeks, but reports suggest the injury is more serious, with fears that the former Marseille player could be sidelined for a significant length of time. Lamare Bogarde and Amadou Onana (hamstring) are expected to take on greater roles in midfield while Kamara is sidelined.
