Former Super Eagles player, Odion Ighalo, is feeling the pang of the coronavirus scare.
The man who has just been enlisted into the Manchester United squad cannot travel with the team to Spain because of his association with China where the disease is raging.
He was formerly with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua , China
Due to the Coronavirus outbreakand UK’s tighter border restrictions on travellers who have been in China within the past 14 days, the Nigerian footballer will stay back in England as he may not be allowed into the country again if he leaves.
He will be in England “on a personal training and fitness programme”, with the English football club saying, “it is simply a precautionary measure as the situation continues to be monitored”.
The club’s manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer also said;
“Odion will stay in Manchester, because he arrived from China in the last 14 days.
“Because of the situation in China, we’re not sure if he’d be allowed back into England if he leaves the country again.
“So he’s staying here working with a personal coach, individual programme and his family then can settle in England as well. That’s a plus.
“Of course he might have liked to have come with the players and got to know them, but the risk [of potential border restrictions tightening], we don’t want to take that.”
