Ankle injury knocks Kalu out of United game

Super Eagles winger Samuel Kalu missed Watford’s draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford on Saturday due to a hamstring injury.

The 24-year-old joined the Hornets from Ligue 1 outfit, FC Girondins de Bordeaux, last month in a deal until June 2025 following three-and-a-half successful years in France’s top tier, where he scored nine goals.

 
The Nigeria international is yet to make his debut for Watford since his arrival though he has been in the club’s matchday squad by Roy Hodgson twice.

 
“In terms of injuries, (Samuel) Kalu, is suffering from a slight ankle injury,” Hodgson said.

 
The Nigerian could however have to wait for another week before making his first appearance for the London club.

 
Kalu who made his debut for the Eagles in September 2018 has been capped 17 times by Nigeria.

The veteran left-back from Zimbabwe, age 36, has replaced Ronwen Williams, who joined Mamelodi Sundowns, another Tshwane team. “He has extensive experience” (Gavin Hunt) Bhasera joined Matsatsantsa from Bidvest Wits in 2016 and has since participated in 156 games across all competitions for the team. Bash will serve as the team’s captain this year, according to a report from Gavin Hunt on Soccer Laduma. “He is a fantastic professional, and he has the experience. I believe he will accept the position since he is a leader. He will do well in this capacity, in my opinion. “It’s crucial for someone to join and be verbal and maintain the highest standards imaginable, which is true both on and off the field. Bash will succeed, I’m confident. He has my complete backing. I choose him. The vote was democratic. That was me. Being the captain carries a lot of responsibility, Bhasera continued. SuperSport is a large club, but I have to take it on with both hands and undoubtedly set an example by going out there myself. It’s going to be an exciting season because I have to play at the top of my game. “Ronwen did a great job for the club, so it’s a major loss, but it also presents a great opportunity for someone else to step forward and take his or her place. Williams has left, but that is football. The players are constantly on the move. He’ll do well at his new club, we hope.
