Super Eagles forward Samuel Kalu is now fully fit and ready to start for Bordeaux against Reims at the Stade Matmut-Atlantique on Saturday according to his Manager Sousa.
The news from Sousa will be sweet music to the ears of Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr and Super Eagles fans as Kalu has been named in the country’s provisional roster for the Africa Cup of Nations squad despite concerns over his fitness.
In the last four months, the former Gent star has logged only 216 minutes in the Ligue 1 due to a hamstring injury he had been dealing with.
”Yes, he (Kalu) can be that X Factor, that player who can bring us something. When I talk about power, fight, intention to score, he’s a player who will give us that,” Sousa told reporters.
”I hope that during the next season, there will be other players who can bring it on this moment of play.
”Samuel Kalu can start against Reims”.
Bordeaux have won only once in their last eight matches in the French top-flight, without Kalu making the match day eighteen.
