‘Boubacar Kamara is ruled out until after the next World Cup after sustaining a knee ligament injury during the match against Southampton on the Premier League final day’, specifies Aston Villa in a medical point published on its website. On September 16, the 22-year-old was out just before the break, hit in the knee and grimacing. Kamara, who arrived at Aston Villa this summer from Marseille, has only three selections for the Blues but his withdrawal deprives coach Didier Deschamps of an alternative solution in the midfield, a sector under construction due to numerous injuries affecting French executives.
During the last international break, 14 players had to forfeit or left the gathering at Clairefontaine along the way. Deschamps repeated during the last gathering of the France team that he would only take suitable players to Qatar from the first match of the Blues, on November 22 against Australia.
