Fry woke up from the medical bay unit, and was greeted by the Professor's "Good News! You're not going to die!"
Fry: What? Who?
Professor: We've removed the worms in your brain. It was a fairly straightforward job, you ate a bad egg salad sandwich at one of your away games. Those same worms seemed to have been a bad influence on your playing style, causing you to inadvertently strike the ball into the net. However, the treatment did take an entire week.
Fry: But we had games, competitions, practices - am I fired yet for not showing up?
Professor: Oh goodness no, we sent a robot replacement that looked vaguely like you and we had it run around on the field saying "what?" and "How did that happen?"
Fry: What??? How did that happen???
Professor: Exactly! No one suspected a thing was different at all. Your stats may have dropped a bit, you didn't get any assists or any goals this week, but in the future, you can dream of the countless assists that are waiting for you. Unless you keep eating the egg salad sandwiches of course. We can work on that later, with your new dietician Dr. Zoidberg.
Zoidberg: I have a special meal planned out for you, I found most of the contents in the local dumpster, full of the best nutrients...
