Returns for preseason testing
Kamara (knee) took part in indoor gym work and testing as Aston Villa began preseason on Monday, the club posted.
Analysis: Kamara had been targeting a return to fitness in time for preseason as he continued his rehabilitation from knee surgery, and this indoor session marks his first activity with the squad. The midfielder was ruled out of the World Cup earlier this summer, but his involvement on the opening day of preseason suggests his recovery is tracking well. He is hoping to feature in the club's upcoming friendly matches as he builds toward full training. Kamara is expected to be gradually reintegrated as Villa continue to monitor his progress.
Targeting pre-season return
Kamara (knee) is targeting a return to fitness for the start of pre-season and is hoping to feature in the club's friendly matches, according to Jacob Tanswell of TheAthletic.
Analysis: Kamara has been working at Bodymoor Heath throughout his rehabilitation from knee surgery, with Aston Villa continuing to monitor his condition on a daily basis. The 26-year-old's progress is an encouraging development after he was ruled out of the World Cup earlier this summer, and his target of being available for pre-season friendlies suggests the recovery is tracking ahead of the new season. A successful return during the friendly period would give Villa valuable time to reintegrate one of their most important midfield figures before the competitive campaign gets underway.
