Boubacar Kamara left his honeymoon after late France call-up, he didn't play a single minute

France midfielder Boubacar Kamara failed to register a single minute of game time during their latest batch of European Championship qualifiers, despite having his honeymoon cut short.

The 23-year-old Aston Villa midfielder, who made 29 appearances in all competitions last season, was selected by Didier Deschamps to replace the injured Adrien Rabiot for games against Gibraltar and Greece.

As a result of his late call-up, Kamara raced back from his honeymoon to join the squad at Clairefontaine.

In fact, partner Coralie Porrovecchio took to Instagram to share images of their unforgettable journey, featuring a picture of them in a car on the road alongside the caption: "ON MY WAY."

But hours later, the couple were heading back to the airport after Deschamps' late call-up. Porrovecchio proceeded to post a shot of Kamara with his luggage.

And a short while later, she wrote: "I am not sure whether to laugh or cry.”

Porrovecchio, who deserves a medal for her patience, later posted an image of the French Football Federation's statement confirming Kamara's arrival with a white love heart.

It is believed the pair were already on a plane headed for Paris and had to disembark to return to Marseille.

Kamara, however, was not rewarded for his efforts. He was an unused substitute in both games as France secured relatively straightforward wins against Gibraltar and Greece.

Here's how social media reacted.

One fan said: "Making a player cancel his honeymoon for international duty then giving him a total of zero (0) minutes is crazy," while another commented: "Never seen anyone like Deschamps in my life."

A third wrote: "I detest this approach to management. It’s soulless. They played Gibraltar and Greece… he deserved a game."

A fourth simply added: "Disgraceful."

Back in May last year, after Kamara decided to join Aston Villa, Deschamps appeared to suggest that the move was a stepping stone in his career.

“It’s his choice, he had the freedom since he was out of contract. For me there are no bad choices,” he said via RMC. “He had a very good season, he was used a lot, and was very consistent in a role which is not always easy.

“He’s chosen the Premier League. Sure, Aston Villa are not among the best teams, but it’s a step for him. I don’t know all of the factors that led him to making that decision.”
