The Nigerian Manchester United player Odion Ighalo has not traveled to Spain to join the concentration maintained by his team in Marbella as a precaution for the coronavirus due to recommendations following his recent trip from China.
Ighalo, former Granada soccer player and international with Nigeria, left the Chinese Shanghai Shenhua on the last day of the winter market to return to the Premier. After his trip, Manchester United has preferred to prevent possible complications from the threat of the virus. This was explained by the 'red devils' coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
"Odion will stay in Manchester because he came from China in the last 14 days," the coach said in statements offered by the club. Due to the situation in China, we are not sure if he would be allowed to return to England if he leaves the country again, so he stays here working with a personal trainer, an individual program and his family can settle in England, that's a plus "added Solskjaer.
"Of course he would have liked to have come with the players and meet them, but we do not want to take risks," said the United coach, who will be able to get to know the other winter addition better these days: Bruno Fernandes , who already started in the goalless draw against the Wolves.
