Bolton's talented striker, Victor Adeboyejo, unfortunately found himself on the sidelines after suffering a rather unusual injury. The incident occurred when he let out a powerful sneeze, causing him to be unable to feature in the team's EFL Trophy match against Barrow on Tuesday. Despite his absence, Bolton managed to secure a victory with a 3-2 scoreline, but manager Ian Evatt couldn't help but feel disappointed by the unfortunate turn of events.
According to Evatt, Adeboyejo had been nursing a back injury, but it was the sneeze that aggravated it. "We have had it scanned and should have the results very soon," Evatt shared with The Bolton News. "Everyone remembers the challenge at Charlton, he was okay at the time. But then he had a pretty hefty sneeze – now Victor is a powerful boy and even his sneezes are powerful." It seemed that the force of the sneeze caused a crack in between his ribs, and the team was hoping it was just a minor issue with the cartilage or muscles.
The manager couldn't help but make a lighthearted comment, saying, "I have to start having a long look at myself when players start getting injured sneezing." He also acknowledged the string of unfortunate injuries that have been plaguing the team recently, but he remained determined to deal with them as they come.
Adeboyejo, who had already scored a goal for Bolton against Leyton Orient on opening day, has only started in one game this season. The 26-year-old was a key player for the team last season, scoring ten goals in the league and attracting interest from other clubs during the summer transfer window.
Currently, Bolton sits at 18th place in League One after one win in their first four games. However, they remain one of the top contenders for promotion, having narrowly missed out last season after losing to Oxford United in the play-off final. Despite the recent setbacks, Evatt and his team are determined to push through and achieve their goal of climbing up the ranks.
