Ighalo To Miss Man Utd Training Camp Amid Virus Fears by EbukaHades10(m): 1:47pm On Feb 08, 2020
Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo will miss the club's training camp in Spain because of fears the coronavirus outbreak could lead to him being refused entry back into the UK.

Nigerian Ighalo, 30, flew to Manchester from China last weekend after signing on loan from Shanghai Shenhua.

"He might have liked to have come with the players and got to know them," manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told MUTV.

"But the risk [of border restrictions tightening] we don't want to take."

Meanwhile, midfielder Scott McTominay and defender Axel Tuanzebe, who have both been out with long-term injuries, will travel to Spain.

United are not due to return until late on Friday before their Premier League game against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday, 17 February (20:00 GMT kick-off).

I knew this would happen... As long as they test him and find nothing, there shouldn't be any problems. Can't wait to see the man in red!

It has nothing to do with coronavirus. It's the fear of the new uk-Europe border rules. Brexit thingy.

Note that he's already in Manchester, so if leaves with the team to Spain for training the border rules may apply.
