'These are things that should not happen' - Petkovic irked with Kalu, Mensah absences against Lens

The duo was in Africa to represent the Super Eagles and the Black Stars in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and now have to quarantine

Bordeaux manager Vladimir Petkovic is disappointed with the fact Nigeria international Samuel Kalu and his compatriot from Ghana Gideon Mensah will not be involved as his team tackles Lens on Sunday.

The duo will sit out the match that will be played at the Matmut-Atlantique Stadium since they are required to quarantine after serving their countries in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. Kalu was involved in the Super Eagles' duties against Liberia and Cape Verde respectively.
