Exeter City investigate Cox's mystery illness

Exeter striker Cox suffered an allergic reaction before Tuesday's match; club investigating the cause.

Exeter City striker Sonny Cox was forced to withdraw from Tuesday's Jersey Mike's Trophy game against Oxford United shortly before kick-off after suffering an allergic reaction. Manager Matt Taylor confirmed the club is investigating the cause of the illness, which has affected the 21-year-old multiple times this season. Cox trained normally the following day with no lasting effects, but Taylor emphasized the stress the situation is causing the player and his family. The club is committed to finding a solution to prevent further incidents.
