“Victor has been suffering with a nasty back injury and a sneeze set it off, believe it or not,” he told The Bolton News on Thursday.
The 26-year-old Nigerian has since undergone a scan to assess the extent of the injury.
“He felt a bit of a crack in 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,” Evatt said.
Evatt noted that the injury originally occurred after a challenge in a game against Charlton but was worsened by the sneeze.
“He was okay at the time, but then he had a pretty hefty sneeze. Victor is a powerful boy, and even his sneezes are powerful,” the manager joked. “I’ll have to start having a long look at myself when players start getting injured sneezing.”
