Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara is facing a devastating blow, as he is expected to miss the remainder of the season due to a significant knee injury sustained in the match against Manchester United.

The 24-year-old influential midfielder was forced off the pitch in the 65th minute during the 2-1 defeat at Villa Park, and journalist David Ornstein has confirmed that he suffered an ACL injury.

Following a scan conducted today, it has been revealed that the France international is now set for an extended period of absence from the field.

This news comes as a massive setback for Unai Emery's squad, as Kamara has been a key player, featuring in 30 games across all competitions.

Aston Villa has already experienced setbacks with injuries to key players like Tyrone Mings and Emiliano Buendia at the beginning of the season, and there are concerns regarding defender Ezri Konsa potentially facing a similar fate.
