AFCON 2019: Super Eagles Camp Comes Alives As Kalu Is Cleared For Guinea Clash

All is now set for the camp of the Super Eagles of Nigeria to come alive again following the cheering news that Samuel Kalu had been declared fit after he collapsed on Friday while training.

The player is now fit to feature for the Eagles at the ongoing 32^nd Africa Cup of Nations after another test was carried out on him in Cairo.

According to the Super Eagles team administrator, Dayo Enebi Achor, Doctor Ibrahim Gyaran travelled to the Egyptian capital with Kalu to conduct the test alongside a CAF medical officer.

“Kalu has been declared fit to play as from now,” Achor said.

“His featuring in Wednesday’s match against Guinea however depends on if he is picked by the technical crew led by Coach Gernot Rohr.

According to reports, The pacy Girondins Bordeaux of France ace, who also performed creditably as a wing back in the AFCON 2019 ticket –winning 1-1 draw with South Africa in Johannesburg in November 2018, collapsed while about to take a corner kick at training in Alexandria on Friday evening.

Reports further added that he was quickly stabilised but taken to hospital for a round of tests, where he was said to be dehydrated and needed to take more fluids.

He subsequently could not make the selection for Saturday’s 1-0 defeat of Burundi in Nigeria’s first match of the 32^nd edition of AFCON at the Alexandria Stadium.
