Strange mark on Serie A striker's neck

Bologna striker Jens Odgaard was forced to reassure fans after images of a bright red wound on the back of his neck went viral on social media.

During the match against Venezia in the 30th round of Serie A on March 29, the Danish star appeared on the field with a large, round red mark on the back of his neck. Odgaard played the full 90 minutes and contributed to Bologna's valuable 1-0 away win, but it was the strange wound on his neck that kept the audience glued to the screen.

On social media, fans quickly came up with a series of bizarre theories such as: "What is that? Is it a zombie bite?", "Was he just bitten by a shark?", "Is that a tattoo or a scratch?".

The match was broadcast live on DAZN , making Odgaard's strange injury even more prominent and curious. In the face of endless speculation, the 25-year-old player clarified on his personal page: "It's just a topical ointment for a sore neck, nothing serious."

Odgaard has been in fine form since joining Bologna in the summer of 2023 from AZ Alkmaar. He has scored 6 goals in 25 Serie A matches this season, including 2 goals in the last 3 rounds.

The victory over Venezia also helped Bologna extend their winning streak to 5 matches, officially surpassing Juventus to take 4th place, entering the group with a ticket to the Champions League.

Atalanta's 4 goals drowned Juventus. Early morning of March 10, Juventus lost 0-4 to Atalanta at home at Allianz Stadium in round 28 of Serie A.
