Gent's Sigurd Rosted anticipates ‘special’ match against Samuel Kalu

Gent defender Sigurd Roster is looking forward to a ‘special’ clash with Bordeaux’s Samuel Kalu when they face each other in Thursday’s Uefa Europa League qualifying encounter.

Having reached an agreement with the Girondins in August, the Kalu signed a deal that would keep him at the French Ligue 1 side until 2023.

He was given a starting berth for the Matmut Atlantique outfit in their 2-1 loss to Toulouse in the club’s season-opener in the French top-flight fixture on Sunday.

However, Yves Vanderhaeghe’s charges will be aiming to capitalise on the home advantage with a victory in the first leg of the Europa League play-offs when they host their French contenders.
