Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo, who joined the club on loan from China's Shanghai Shenhua, will miss a training camp in Spain as he may not clear U.K. immigration on the team's return should border restrictions tighten due to the coronavirus epidemic.

Over 800 people have died in mainland China due to the flu-like virus after it first emerged in Wuhan, Hubei province, late last year and it has also shut down Chinese cities and forced thousands more into quarantine around the world.

More than two dozen airlines have suspended or restricted flights to China and at least 17 countries have imposed travel restrictions on people coming from the country.
