On-loan Blues midfielder Panutche Camara has been ruled out for at least three months with the hamstring injury he suffered during Charlton’s 3-2 victory at Wigan on Tuesday.

Camara, 26, who returned to action a fortnight ago after eight games out with a foot knock, lasted 10 minutes before leaving the field, visibly upset.

“It’s not good so there’s no point dressing it up,” Addicks manager Michael Appleton told his club’s official website.

“It’s going to be at least three months and obviously I feel for Pan. He’s worked ever so hard to get himself in a position to play and you can see the ability that he’s got.

“He covers the ground very well and you could argue that he’s almost quicker with the ball than he is without the ball.

“He’s had issues in the past with his hamstring and he’s not had a great time of it with injuries over the last couple of years.”

Camara, who is with Charlton until the end of the season, is out of contract with Town in the summer but with the club having an option for a further year.

The former Plymouth man joined the Blues for £500,000 in the summer of 2022 but made only one start and three substitute appearances last season due to a succession of injuries, scoring one goal.

hammo56 added 16:17 - Nov 3 Plymouth really sold us a pup when they let us have Camara. Guess a bit of revenge for the Mariner transfer all those years ago.

Linkboy13 added 16:51 - Nov 3 Really terrible bad luck for the lad was looking forward to seeing him play in a blue shirt when we signed him. Having three operations on the same injury is never a good sign it can have adverse effects on other parts. The problem is the team is moving forward ability wise so we probably won't see him in a blue shirt.

therein61 added 16:58 - Nov 3 This is a very good player that is very unfortunate with injuries and will not i'm afraid feature in our 1st x1 in the future(and we've had one or two in the recent past) maybe time to let him go in the new year i feel sorry for the guy but it's just not going to happen for him here.

Radlett_blue added 19:52 - Nov 3 A gamble on an player who was already injured when we signed him. He will be released in the summer; I hope he gets fit & finds himself another club, which will not be in the Championship, unless Plymouth want him back. At least we've had very few of this type of signing in recent years.

PhuketPete added 07:43 - Nov 4 I think it’s time for Pan to consider taking the same path as Keiran McK took when his injuries became insurmountable… if he wants to stay in the game. Get working on coaching certificates etc because it appears like a toss-up at best that he’ll ever again be fit enough for the rigours of pro football. Sad to say. Wish him well.

algarvefan added 10:47 - Nov 4 Sad to read this, have a mate who is a Plymouth fan who rated him very highly and was upset when we signed him. I wish him well and hope he gets over this period of injuries, I do wonder if he was fit enough to return when he did? Like others unlikely to see him back at Town again unless he makes a miraculous recovery.

blueboy1981 added 11:17 - Nov 4 Apology Radlett blue - marked you up, but somehow it registered down ! Some players are just ‘injury prone’ and never fully recover from even the smallest knock, healing properties within the person can be diverse. Hope for better for Pan, but gone on too long to look positive for him !

Suffolkboy added 15:12 - Nov 4 Really awful news for Pan; obviously possessed of talent and willing and enthusiastic ,this is almost the worst of outcomes . Let’s hope a good period of rest , a measured recovery and his determination will see him able to resume a chosen career . I’m sure every true ITFC supporter will be wishing you well ! COYB
