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. Victor 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 the scan we won't know.
In the 2024/2025 season, Adeboyejo, who joined Bolton from Burton Albion in January 2023, has played four League One matches, scoring one goal, along with one appearance in the EFL Cup. His market value is estimated at €850,000 according to Transfermarkt. Following four matches, Bolton sits in 18th place in the 24-team league, having earned four points.
