‘Jens Odgaard’s neck looks like there is a red circle. Did he just get his neck scraped?’

A further post read: ‘What is that thing? A zombie bite?’

The striker took to social media to address concerns over his welfare after the game had ended.

Posting on Instagram, he wrote ‘It’s just a medicine I’m using for my neck, nothing serious.’

One fan responded: ‘Good to know. You had us worried for a while. There were some crazy theories floating around.’

Odgaard has played a pivotal role in Bologna’s push for a Champions League spot, scoring six goals in 25 league games so far this term.

He joined the club in the summer of 2023 after previously playing for Dutch side AZ Alkmaar.

The devil waits at every crossroads: a walk between darkness and light on Dartmoor
