EPL: Man Utd striker, Ighalo being monitored for 14 days amid coronavirus fears

Manchester United will include Odion Ighalo in the squad, for their Europa League clash with Club Brugges next week, the Daily Mail reports.

Ighalo was left out of the group of players that travelled to Marbella last weekend, over the coronavirus alert.

The Nigerian has remained in Manchester, amid fears he would not be allowed back into the UK.

Ighalo is among the travellers to the UK from China being monitored for 14 days, although he did not have to go into quarantine.

That two-week period runs out on February 16 and United have confirmed that Ighalo will be free to travel to Belgium, after being added to their Europa League squad.

The 30-year-old moved to Old Trafford on a six-month loan and is expected to make his debut against Chelsea in the Premier League.
