Why Ighalo may not play against Chelsea
Nigerians and fans across the world hoping to see Manchester United’s deadline day signing, Odion Ighalo, in action against Chelsea on Monday night may have to brace up for the worst.
Solskjaer confirmed earlier this week that Ighalo would travel down to London with the rest of the squad, and suggested that the fact the Nigerian has not yet trained with his team-mates would not keep him out of contention for the match at Stamford Bridge. “He’ll be involved with us and he’ll travel down with us and, obviously, now he’s out of that two-week period of precaution and it’s a precaution we’ve made.“He’s done his [training programme] and it was always going to be a case of him having to integrate into the group anyway after having been out in China. He needs to get used to the players and the team and up to speed as quick as he can.”
Ighalo’s fellow new signing, Bruno Fernandes, is in line to make his first United appearance away from home.
