Samuel Kalu will certainly be included in Bordeaux match day eighteen when they tackle Nantes at Stade de la Beaujoire – Louis Fonteneau on Sunday.
The winger is once again available for selection after serving a three-game ban that saw him miss matches against Paris Saint-Germain, Toulouse and Guingamp.
Bordeaux coach éric Bedouet has advised the Nigeria international to step up his game and found it strange the attack-minded player was deployed as a right (wing)back in an AFCON qualifier against South Africa.
”Samuel Kalu will bring some power, because he is powerful, but in the national team he plays right back in a 3-5-2 and it’s funny,” Bedouet told reporters at the pre-match press conference.
”In fact we discussed, because the game changes between clubs and the national team.. So he must regain the qualities he had when he arrived: power, speed, dribbling, acceleration. He must find it, because it was good.”
In 28 outings for Bordeaux across all competitions, Kalu has registered his name on the scoresheet on four occasions.
