Bolton Wanderers Striker Injured by ‘Powerful Sneeze

(UK) – Bolton Wanderers striker Victor Adeboyejo has sustained an unexpected injury, attributed to a forceful sneeze. Adeboyejo, who was scheduled to play in a Bristol Street Motors Trophy group game against Barrow, had to withdraw due to severe back and ribcage pain.

Manager Ian Evatt explained that the injury occurred after Adeboyejo sneezed, which exacerbated an existing back issue. The injury reportedly involved a painful sensation in his ribs, and the team is awaiting the results of a scan to determine the extent of the damage.

Evatt described the situation as unusual, noting that Adeboyejo’s sneeze appeared to have triggered the injury. “Victor has been suffering from a troublesome back issue, and a sneeze seems to have set it off,” Evatt said. “He felt a bit of a crack in his ribs, and while we hope it is just a cartilage or muscular problem, we will know more once we review the scan results.”
