Girondins de Bordeaux striker Samuel Kalu is feeling no discomfort after collapsing in the sixth minute of their Ligue 1 match at Olympique de Marseille on Sunday, teammate Remy Oudin said.

Oudin replaced Kalu in the 14th minute after the 23-year-old Nigerian fell to the ground on a hot evening at the Stade Velodrome. Having been shielded by teammates after he collapsed, Kalu was able to get up and walk off the pitch with their help while holding an ice pack against his head.

“According to the doctor, it was just a dizzy spell,” said Oudin, who netted Bordeaux’s equaliser as they fought back from two goals down to earn a 2-2 draw.
