Scores in return to action
Kamara (knee) made his long-awaited return to action and scored in Tuesday's 3-1 win over Pathum United, the club posted.
Analysis: Kamara's recovery from the knee injury that has kept him out since January reached a big milestone with his long-awaited return, and scoring on the occasion only adds to the positive feeling around his comeback. The next phase is building his fitness and getting back to full match sharpness before the season starts, which Villa will be keen to manage carefully given how much they are set to rely on him, especially with Youri Tielemans having left the club. Provided he continues progressing without setbacks, he looks set to line up alongside Joao Gomes in central midfield once he is fully up to speed.
Spotted training Friday
Kamara (knee) was spotted training Friday and could be an option for Saturday's friendly against an Indonesian XI, the club posted.
Analysis: Kamara had been sidelined since January following knee surgery and missed the earlier preseason friendly against Walsall as a precaution, so his return to training marks a positive step toward a potential preseason debut. He now faces competition for minutes from new signings Joao Gomes and Johan Manzambi, and his continued progress will be closely watched as he looks to regain a starting role heading into the new 2026/27 Premier League campaign.
