The medical team of the Nigeria national team will receive Samuel Kalu’s medical reports from Bordeaux in order to monitor the winger’s medical situation ahead of the start of the Super Eagles 2022 World Cup Qualifiers campaign next month, according to Gernot Rohr.
The Super Eagles tactician also revealed he has been in touch with the 23 -year-old immediately after the Bordeaux winger returned after collapsing during a France top division match on Sunday.
Kalu is ‘fine’ after collapsing on the pitch at the Stade Velodrome during their 2-2 draw against Marseille, according to the french team’s medical team and suffered from dehydration instead of heart complications as initially feared.
He received immediate medical attention after falling to the ground in the sixth minute as Dimitri Payet prepared to take a free-kick amid searing temperatures at the Stade Velodrome.
“The doctor from Bordeaux will send all the exams and results to our doctor Ibrahim,” Rohr exclusively told NationSport.
