Victor Adeboyejo, a striker for Bolton Wanderers, suffered a back injury caused by a powerful sneeze.

The incident forced him to miss a match in the Bristol Street Motors Trophy against Barrow on Tuesday. Adeboyejo, 26, experienced pain in his back and ribcage, which his manager, Ian Evatt, said was triggered by the unexpected sneeze.

Adeboyejo had been struggling with a back problem since a challenge during a game against Charlton but felt fine until the sneeze worsened his condition. “Victor is a powerful boy, and even his sneezes are powerful,” said Evatt. Adeboyejo has since undergone a scan, and the team hopes the injury is related to cartilage or muscle rather than something more severe.

Despite Adeboyejo’s absence, Bolton Wanderers managed to secure a 3-2 win against Barrow. The team currently sits 18th in League One with four points from their first four games of the season.
