Aston Villa: Doctor issues Boubacar Kamara training claim post knee injury
Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara is not expected to return to light training until August, according to Dr Rajpal Brar.
The France international’s season came to a premature end due to a knee injury that required surgery.
The injury expert claims that true progress over his recovery can be gauged only when he’s back in the gym doing weight-bearing activities.
Speaking about this situation, Dr Brar, a doctor in physical therapy and a sports scientist, told Villa News:
“True progress and potential early return can possibly be seen once he’s doing weight-bearing activities, like running or low level sport-specific activities.
“That being said, still a lot of variance and grey area there.
“Hard to really give a best case on individual training because it really depends on how he’s progressing and the full extent of the injury.
“August is the earliest I see him returning to light training.“
Kamara’s loss a big miss for Unai Emery and Aston Villa
While Kamara is slated to return come the end of October, he is unlikely to be at a 100 per cent for the next 18 months.
Unai Emery will be hoping that there are no issues with his rehabilitation and that he’s back in light training as soon as the new season begins.
Kamara has been an important first-team player for the Villans this season, making 20 Premier League starts.
He has been one of the unsung heroes who have guided this side to be in contention for a top-five finish.
