Aston Villa's French international (5 caps), Boubacar Kamara, who suffered a ruptured cruciate ligament in his right knee during the match against Manchester United on Sunday, will not participate in Euro 2024 (June 14 - July 14) .
The press release published by his club, currently fifth in the Premier League, reported a “significant knee ligament injury”.

Coached by Unai Emery, his aggressiveness and generosity made him a player appreciated by the former Paris Saint-Germain coach.
After having already missed the 2022 World Cup – he was just returning from injury – he now has to give up a new meeting with the selection.
