The Nigerian player has spent years with Shenshua before moving to England last week, the exact week the virus became critical in China.
An official statement from the club reads:
“The club can also confirm that, due to the current situation in China, it has been decided that new signing Odion Ighalo will not travel to Spain as it is not guaranteed that he’d clear UK immigration on return should border restrictions tighten on travellers who’ve been in China within the past 14 days.”
There are currently three cases of coronavirus recorded in the United Kingdom where health professionals are working around the clock to combat it.
