Good news, the Nigerian international winger from Bordeaux Samuel Kalu, victim of a malaise Sunday in Marseille (2-2), will resume training on Wednesday.
"All the additional examinations carried out on Tuesday do not reveal any cardiac abnormalities," announced the Girondins de Bordeaux in a press release.
After five minutes of play at the Velodrome, Kalu, 23, suddenly collapsed, all alone, causing a great fright to his teammates who waved their hands to ask the medical teams to intervene urgently.
After a few moments of care, the Nigerian got up and even took his place for a few minutes before being replaced a few minutes later, head down, by Rémi Oudin.
Eriksen's accident in everyone's mind
“With the medical service, we preferred to replace him so as not to take any risks.
In these cases, football takes a back seat, ”his coach Vladimir Petkovic explained after the meeting.
This discomfort comes a few weeks after the cardiac arrest suffered in the middle of a match, on June 12, at the Euro by the Danish Christian Eriksen, who had been rescued at the last minute on the lawn.
In June 2019, Kalu had already become unwell following dehydration while training with his selection under the Egyptian heat during the African Cup of Nations.
