Bordeaux striker Samuel Kalu is "fine" after collapsing on the pitch at the Stade Velodrome during their 2-2 draw against Marseille on Sunday, according to his team-mate Remy Oudin.

The Nigerian, 23, received immediate medical attention after falling to the ground in the sixth minute.

He walked off the pitch minutes later holding an ice pack against his head.

Kalu resumed playing after getting treatment but was substituted after he appeared dazed.

"It gave us a bit of a chill and it's still quite shocking," said Oudin, who replaced him in the 14th minute.

Players from both teams formed a wall around Kalu as he was receiving medical attention.

"According to the doctor, it was just a dizzy spell," he added at full-time, having scored Bordeaux's equaliser as they fought back from two goals down to earn a draw.

"We're happy for Kalu, everything is fine and that's the most important thing," Oudin said.

"We inevitably thought about what happened with (Denmark midfielder Christian) Eriksen, the whole team and everyone was scared."

Former Tottenham playmaker Eriksen collapsed in June when he suffered a cardiac arrest in the first half of Denmark's Euro 2020 match against Finland.

Wait, somebody collapsed, was thankfully resuscitated, and the coach still sent him on to continue playing? Shouldn't that coach be arrested and prosecuted?

Get well soon

That second picture show the spirit of sportsmanship in both teams

I think he shouldn't have been sent back on the pitch imo,
Moreover, the football body should provide a medical team to check these players' fitness before every match. Coaches can be selfish at times, its all about their jobs and winning games

Thank God he's alive .
Na hustle you go hustle o. Hustle no go ever hustle you .

It is the second time such has happened to him.

I could recall during training towards Egypt 2019 AFCON.

He must pay attention to his body.

Villagers de pursue this man seriously. God help him to fulfill his destiny.

This guy needs serious prayer

I dnt see the need of sending him back to the pitch after he collapsed n was revived...
abi na him be their own messi or cr7??
the doctors know better but seeing dt he was subbed off after he appeared dazed means dt idea of him going bk to d pitch was a bad idea..

he collapsed in the 6th minute n the coach sent him back n finally subbed him in the 16th minutes simply means dt the coach is a die hard logical punter
the man don stake "no sub for 10 mins" and kalu gat play make e ticket no cut..

Nice opinion but all clubs have its own medical team but the fact is dt the medics are easily influenced by the coaches...
A coach can easily ask an injured player to get injected n play tru d pain to win a big game
Or even asking a player to suspend his surgery hills end of the season to avoid that lengthy lay off

hmm...i think d problem should start from dt his "age" bcoz e cant b 23..
I first saw Samuel years back in a competition around jos in 2014 and he was really talented, was told he was once in same class in sec skul with my senior bross n dey even saw each oda..
meaning, the matured looking kalu l i saw dt day was just 17 years old?
abeg, how my 37 year old bros take attend same sec skul with this 23 year old bross na no be juju be dt??

That only shows he is considered an invaluable player

He's okay. Infact he continued play n the subbed.

The coach worked on the advice of the doctor. But he shouldn't have been cleared to play again now.

It was a huge scare. Glad he's alright
