Adeboyejo, 26, was set to take part in the group game, but was forced to pull out after feeling discomfort in his ribcage and back.
According to Wanderers boss Ian Evatt, that discomfort was all caused because of a "powerful" sneeze.
Speaking to after the game, Evatt explained: "Victor has been suffering with a nasty back injury and a sneeze set it off yesterday believe it or not.
"We have had it scanned and should have the results very soon, everyone remembers the challenge at Charlton, he was OK at the time.

"But then he had a pretty hefty sneeze – now Victor is a powerful boy and even his sneezes are powerful.
“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 had a good look at the scan we won’t know.”
Bolton did just fine without Adeboyejo, managing a 3-2 win over League Two side Barrow to get their campaign off to a winning start.
The Trotters are going along much better in the cups that the league.
