It would be recalled that the 22-year-old forward tested positive for the COVID-19 virus on his return to Bordeaux from Nigeria on July 6. Kalu was then isolated for 14 days, after which he was taken for another test, which came out negative.
As a result, the former KAA Gent star was allowed to rejoin his colleagues in training.
Bordeaux continued their preparation ahead of the coming season with a 4-2 loss at Saint Etienne on Saturday.
After enduring an underwhelming campaign last term in which he scored just once in 19 games, Kalu has a lot to prove during the 2020-21 season.
Despite his struggles, though, Kalu is still attracting interests from Turkey with Fenerbahce reportedly readying a multi-billion naira offer for the youngster.
