Serie A player releases statement with 'zombie bite' injury going viral

The Bologna player was spotted with the 'bite' during the victory over Venezia.

A Serie A player has had to release a statement after an image of the player went viral.

Bologna played Venezia in the Serie A on Saturday - winning 1-0, courtesy of Riccardo Orsolini's goal.

However, it was something else during the match which caught the headlines - a huge red mark on Danish striker Jens Odgaard's neck.

Seen with the red mark, it instantly went viral on social media with fans speculating it as a 'zombie bite' or a 'shark bite'.

Odgaard then proceeded to explain the matter.

Speaking on social media, the striker stated: "3 points back Home from a difficult place! It's just a medicine I'm using for my neck, nothing serious."

Managing six goals and three assists so far this season, Bologna have also enjoyed a successful season.

Moving up to fourth place in the league and in the Champions League places, the club are now only two points behind Atalanta.
