As for Kamara, his injury calamity came in the loss to Manchester United back in February.
“They are training very well,” Emery said.
“They started to be 100% last week. The plan is to try and play 45 minutes with under-21s next week.”
Elsewhere, when it comes to Villans team news for this one, Diego Carlos (muscle) and Robin Olsen (head) are both doubts. Meanwhile Jaden Philogene (unspecified), Matty Cash (hamstring) and John McGinn remain sidelined, and will miss the clash against the Tractor Boys.
