Super Eagles winger, Samuel Kalu, who plays for Bordeaux<\/a> in France, collapsed on the pitch during a Ligue 1 clash with Marseille on Sunday August 15.<\/p>\n

\"Samuel<\/p>\n

Samuel Kalu dropped to the ground just five minutes into their game amid soaring temperatures at the Stade Velodrome. The incident sparked concern for Kalu as players from both sides called for medical attention.<\/p>\n

At one point, the players formed a human shield around Kalu while he was being treated on the field in scenes similar to what was seen when Christian Eriksen suffered a cardiac arrest in Demark’s Euro 2020 opener against Finland.\"Samuel<\/p>\n

Thankfully, Kalu made a quick recovery and was able to stand on his feets.\u00a0He was walked off the pitch by his teammates while holding an ice pack against his head but later\u00a0returned to carry on playing before he was\u00a0substituted for Remi Oudin.<\/p>\n

\nThe Nigerian was given a standing ovation by those in attendance for his brave attempts to play on following his collapse.<\/h6>\n

The cause of the incident is not yet known but it is not the first time he has collapsed on a football pitch. Kalu collapsed during the Nigerian team<\/a>‘s training session during the African Cup of Nations back in 2019 as a result of ‘severe dehydration’.<\/p>\n

\u201cKalu\u2019s incident gave us chills. It\u2019s always a bit shocking for spectators and players on the pitch,\u201d said Oudin who went on to score in the 2-2 draw.”<\/p>\n

\u201cWith what happened with Eriksen at the Euros, we think about it. Everyone got a little scared. Fortunately, it ended well.<\/p>\n

\u201cAccording to the doctors, it\u2019s a simple discomfort but he will certainly be undergoing tests on Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI was thinking about what happened during the Euro,\u201d admitted Bordeaux coach Vladimir Petkovic.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith the medical team, we chose to replace him so as not to take any risks. In these cases, football takes a back seat.\u201d<\/p>\n

His collapse for Bordeaux brought back memories of Eriksen’s collapse during the Euros. The Danish midfielder’s life was saved when CPR was administered to him on the pitch and his heart was re-started with a defibrillator before he was taken to hospital, where he recovered after undergoing heart surgery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
