Ighalo won't join Man Utd on Spain training camp due to fears over coronavirus travel restrictions

Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo will not travel to Spain for the team's warm-weather training camp due to uncertainty relating to travel restrictions associated with the coronavirus outbreak.

The Red Devils fear he will not be allowed back into England because of travel restrictions on people who have been in China in recent weeks, with Ighalo having played for Shanghai Shenhua prior to his loan move to Old Trafford.

The Guardian reports that, as of February 8, officials have announced the death toll had risen to 724 since the outbreak began in China in December.
