Samuel Kalu is back in France but unable to train with the rest of his teammates at Ligue 1 side Bordeaux after testing positive for coronavirus during the international break with Nigeria.
Kalu’s sample alongside that of Tyronne Ebuehi came back as positive to the virus ruling them out of the Super Eagles second 2022 World Cup qualifiers game against Cape Verde.
Another test was conducted on the duo and it returned a negative result enabling them to travel back to their base but while Ebuehi is back with the squad at Serie A side Venezia and even made the substitute bench, same can’t be said about Kalu.
Bordeaux per statement in the French press picked up by OwnGoalNigeria.com will integrate him into their squad on Thursday as he was made to observe a seven day quarantine upon arrival from Nigeria despite testing negative.
It means he will be available for selection this weekend when they take on St-Etienne after missing yesterday’s game against Lens which they lost 2-3.
