Samuel Kalu has been confirmed 'okay' and 'stabilised' after he collapsed during
training, a day before the country’s Afcon opener against Burundi on Saturday.
Kalu was reported to have fallen while trying to take a corner-kick in Friday’s training
session in Alexandria and was immediately rushed to the hospital.
The 21-year-old underwent several medical examinations upon arrival in the hospital and
he was said to have collapsed due to dehydration.
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) media chief Demola Olajire confirmed the situation,
with a relief message that the Bordeaux winger has been advised to drink more water.
“I have been told Samuel Kalu has been stabilised. He was taken to hospital for tests
and he is certified okay. He was dehydrated, they said. Told him he needs to be taking
enough fluids,” Olaajire said.
Kalu is one of the nine forwards in Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr’s squad and it remains to
be seen if he would be available for their Group B opening game against the Swallows
at the Alexandria Stadium.
During the 2018-19 season, the pacy winger contributed three goals and two assists in
his debut season with Bordeaux in the French Ligue 1.

Dani Alves is better than Cafu

Marjoribanks:
An European country is playing an African opposition and you put an European in charge of VAR.
Seriously!!

TheGoodJoe:
Do not worry. Nigeria matches will soon reach. Wahala will end.

Naso, I hail you bro.

The Land is Green.

Lol, not sure you really watched Ronaldinho

edi287:
Yep. Bissaka is a monster at one on one defending. Congo needs to tell us how they let that guy slip through their fingers.
I sha heard he started off as a striker/winger till they tried him at RB in training and my guy caged Zaha all day.

Heard Collins is sick, too. Also read somewhere that Onuachu will start ahead of Ighalo.

with Kalu ruled out Chuks should start, I just hope Broda Jude will make the most of our chances today, we need to score early to destabilize the Burundians because the more the game progresses the more confidence they'll build

jihday:
if this kain thing happen for here, Amaju for don hear am

Danielnino00:
let's hope brother Jude doesn't start falling on the floor to win cheap penalties...

It's fact. Zidane, Maradona, Pele, Cruyff, Messi, Ronaldo Di Lima, Ronaldo, Ronaldinho, George best, Neymar, Garrincha, Sir Stanley Matthews, etc are far technical than Xaxi but ehm! He might make top 15 sha.

ChrisKels:
one of the reasons his game and that of Moses nauseate me

TheGoodJoe:
Not about defence splitting passing but controlling the game technically with short simple metronomic passes.

edi287:
He started off with Congo's U20 team (played just once sha) till he switched to England.
He'll have a tough fight on his hands benching TAA sha.

SerVik:
If this argument is about who the better footballer is, it is clearly dinho. His talent level was off the charts.

If however, it is about who understands the game more, then it is xavi all day everyday. xavi's understanding of the game is second to none. His utilization of the concept of time and space was a delight to watch.

Let me put it this way. If xavi and ronaldinho where to go into coaching, who do you think would make the better coach?
Xavi is guardiola level brilliant
