Aston Villa: Boubacar Kamara to miss rest of season with knee injury

Aston Villa midfielder Boubacar Kamara will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, says manager Unai Emery.

The 24-year-old tore his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in Sunday's 2-1 defeat by Manchester United in the Premier League.

Villa forward Emiliano Buendia and defender Tyrone Mings are also sidelined with ACL problems.

"When they are injured for a long time, it's the worst in football," said Emery.

"It's more difficult for the player, as a person, when they are injured.

"We've had two injuries for a long time, for all the season, with Buendia and Mings.
