Super Eagles forward Samuel Kalu’s hope of making Gernot Rohr’s AFCON squad is now brighter as the forward returned back to training with his Bordeaux teammates on Wednesday.
An enduring two months saw Kalu miss Bordeaux’s quest for survival with a hamstring injury which threatened to cut his season short.
With Rohr stating that the former KAA Gent winger remains an integral part of his plans for next month’s AFCON, Kalu joined the rest of his teammates on Wednesday morning for the first time in two months as he was seen jogging around the pitch alone with the club’s fitness trainer.
The Eagles forward last featured for Bordeaux in March when they played a 1-1 draw against Monaco but could possibly eye a place on the bench for this weekend’s away tie to Lille with his side just needing at least a point to secure safety in the French top flight.
