Adam Chapman plays with burnt nipple

 

Oxford United Midfielder Chapman, 22, was forced to go to hospital on Friday night after pouring boiling milk over his chest.

But despite the unusual injury, Chapman managed to take his place in Saturday’s side as Oxford beat Wycombe 3-1 reports the BBC

“It’s ridiculous,” Wilder told BBC Radio Oxford. “It is a new one for me, hopefully he’ll

be OK in the future.”

 

“I got out of bed early on Saturday like a good professional, making sure we’re all alright for the game,” he said.

“I picked up a text on my phone that got sent last night (Friday) from Andy Lord, our physio.

“Adam Chapman, like this good dad he is, was making his baby some milk and he managed to shake the bottle up and down, but he didn’t put the lid back on properly.

“He burnt his chest and had to go to hospital for a check up.

“He’s burnt all his nipple. It’s an unusual injury, but he’s managed to play the game. We talk about injuries and what I have to go through in this job.”
