The camp of the Super Eagles of
Nigeria bubbled specially on Monday evening after news came that Samuel Kalu
had been declared fit after he collapsed on Friday in training.
Kalu is now fit to feature for
the Eagles at the ongoing 32nd Africa Cup of Nations after another test was
carried out on him in Cairo.
Dayo Enebi Achor, Super Eagles
team administrator said that the 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.
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.
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.
The scare knocked him out of
reckoning for selection for Saturday’s 1-0 defeat of Burundi in Nigeria’s first
match of the 32nd edition of AFCON at the Alexandria Stadium.
