Salomon Kalou Is A-OK

There was a bit of a scare for both Chelsea and the Ivory Coast yesterday when Salomon Kalou, who's been brilliant so far in the tournament, pulled up in the second half of the Elephants' match against Burkina Faso with what appeared to be a hamstring injury. With Gervinho out of form, the Ivory Coast's attack relies on the Chelsea axis of Didier Drogba and Kalou, and although the 26-year-old is underappreciated around some parts of Stamford Bridge Chelsea would hardly be hoping for a major injury to a striker with Nicolas Anelka already sold.
But anyway, there's some good news on the Kalou front - he's totally fine. Check it:
It was more of a scare than any damage, Kalou felt pain behind the thigh but it's not a hamstring or tear.

Kalou's expected to start the Elephant's next match against Angola in a couple of days, so he won't be missing any time with us. Of course, if you want to be a pessimist, it's entirely possible that Kalou is injured and the national team's doctors have simply missed it. It wouldn't be the first time something like that's happened. For now, take them at their word, but it's probably worth keeping an eye on the striker for the rest of the tournament.

That's terrific news. He's been incredibly fun to watch in this terrible tournament
No offense to people who like it, but every two years, really??
Glad he’s not hurt, and maybe he’ll even play himself back into the Chelsea lineup?
It will happen again next winter as well
They are switching to odd years

Wow.
We should never sign an african player again.
Nah, it's a good omen.
We’ve won the EPL title during two of the last three editions (’06, ’10) of the ACoN.
ManU don't have any
it’s weird. Fergie’s secret to success?

tourney sucks
My team(Senegal) sucked ass. They brought three midfielders to the tournament. The team is full of great attackers but no way to get the ball to them. The team has lost their first two games 2-1 each so they’re done.

I don't trust West African team doctors
They have a habit of bending the truth when it comes to injuries. I hope Kalou is really fine though…
The Nigerian Perspective!

It's just Kalou, dressed up as the team doctor.
Although I expected a better fake name than Katou. I mean, come on, put some effort into it.
(You know, like Larry)
Well, he did keep running a bit after he felt the pain. If his hamstring was REALLY torn
he would’ve dropped to the floor immediately, no doubt about it.
Oh im so glad our superstar is allright!!! we love you kalouuuuu
Everybody stutters one way or the other
So check out my message to you.
As a matter of fact don't let nothin' hold you back.
