Moments of fear at the Velodrome in Marseille, during the Ligue 1 match between Olympique and Bordeaux. At 6 ‘, while Payet was preparing to take a free kick, Samuel Kalu he collapsed to the ground. All the players on the pitch immediately called the doctors’ intervention and closed in a circle in front of the Bordeaux winger. An image already seen during the last European championships, when Christian Eriksen collapsed to the ground. The Nigerian, however, went better, because he quickly recovered: after a few minutes, the ’97 class got up and left the field. It was therefore only a faint and the player tried to return to the field and resume the game, but was promptly replaced.
Kalu immediately went to the locker room for the investigation of the case. He had already passed out during a training session in Egypt, with his national team, in 2019. In that case, the official cause was dehydration due to high temperatures.
