An unusual incident involving Bolton Wanderers striker Victor Adeboyejo has been reported by BBC. The 26-year-old Nigerian forward is sidelined after a particularly forceful sneeze exacerbated an existing back injury. Additionally, team doctors suspect he may have sustained a rib fracture. The timeline for Adeboyejo's recovery has not been disclosed.
He had a pretty hefty sneeze. Viꦺctor is a powerful boy, and even his sneezes are powerful. He felt a bit of a crack between his ribs, and we are hopeful it is just a cartilage or muscular issue, but until we have a good look at thꦗe scan we won't know.
