Former Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo is not part of Manchester United’s squad, travelling to Spain for a training camp.
Ighalo has been left out over fears that he could be denied entry back into the UK because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Recall that Ighalo only arrived last week from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua on a six-month loan deal.
There are currently three cases of coronavirus in the UK.
United fly to Spain on Saturday for a warm-weather camp, but Ighalo will remain in Manchester, where he will undergo on a personal training and fitness programme.
A club statement said: “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.”
Did you know that cabbage leaves are also used by some women to help reduce swelled breasts, especially at the time while weaning a baby from breastfeeding?
Is it because the natural coldness the leaves preserve for a long time, or is it some active compound inside, researchers still can’t answer. The most important thing is that – it helps the pain and swelling.
So how and when to use this amazing natural treatment?
1. The cabbage should be fresh but kept in the refrigerator. That’s how the leaves will stay cool for a longer period!
2. You never use the outer leaves, mostly because they’re too thin and can’t keep the coolness for a period of time.
3. Clean the leaves one by one with running cold water.
4. Place them directly onto your breasts, wrapping each breast with a cabbage leaf.
5. It is very important to leave the nipples naked. You will allow the skin around them to stay dry and intact.
6. Wear a bra just to hold them – you don’t have to lock it in the back.
7. Leave the leaves until you can no longer feel the cold than take them off.
Cautions:
1. If you are still breastfeeding or pumping for your baby, don’t continue with the treatment for too long.
2. That might cause decreases in your milk and harm the natural process of breastfeeding.
3. After your breasts feel relieved and the swelling has gone, for now, stop the treatment for a while.
4. Repeat it continuously, but let time pass between treatments.

The recent killing of a Mobile Police Officer attached to the Anti-Aircraft Gun (AAG) unit of the Nigeria Police Force by an Army corporal after an altercation in Makara Area of Gwoza Local Government Area (LGA), in Borno State has continued to attract outpouring of anger.
The unnamed Army corporal extra-judicially killed Sergeant Rowland Tafida who was among the MOPOL Special Forces Team deployed to Gwoza last August, on counter-insurgency operations.
According to reports the late Police officer would have completed his six months anti-terrorism operation on February 8, 2020.
It was also learnt that Mr. Rowland, a father of two young girls, had already planned to depart Borno this coming Saturday before he was ‘callously’ murdered by the unidentified soldier.
An eyewitness who spoke to PRNigeria described the killing of Rowland as “unfortunate and disheartening”. He said the whole drama started with an altercation between the Army corporal and another Police personnel over a girlfriend.
The eyewitness, who pleaded not to be named, said: “Some people intervened and settled the matter when the aggrieved Army corporal asked a driver of an anti-aircraft gun Hilux belonging to his military base, to turn and directly face the Limankara Police Training Camp.
“Immediately after turning the vehicle, they opened fire and shot at the Camp’s facility. It was at that moment, Rowland Tafida, the late police sergeant, was killed by a stray bullet because he was not involved the earlier altercation. The blast of the anti-aircraft vehicle totally disfigured his left leg thigh as he was returning to the camp after he went to charge his phone somewhere.
“The young MOPOL officer could have survived the terrible assault, but nobody could take him to a medical facility as he lied in his own pool of blood, bleeding profusely and bled to death.”
Another eyewitness, a woman, stated that other police officers at the Limankara camp swiftly mobilized and immediately came out to protest against the ‘brutal’ killing of Rowland by the soldier.
She added that it took the intervention of an army major, who is the most senior officer in the location, to douse the rising tension.
“It was the Army major that came out to beg the aggrieved MOPOL personnel. He was the one who restored order and normalcy, otherwise, a mayhem would have erupted.
“After begging the police officers, the major arrested the “killer” corporal, and thereafter, the Army Theatre Command, contacted the Borno Police Command.
PRNigeria later gathered that both the military and Police constituted a joint fact-finding Committee to unravel the circumstances that gave rise to the ugly incident. The Committee had apprehended the culprit and took him to Maimalari Barrack in Maiduguri. The military has also taken responsibility for the damaged facilities at the Police camp.
Speaking with PRNigeria, his aunt, Mrs. Zwancit Dazang, said nobody from either the Police or Army authorities have called to inform them of Rowland’s death.
She said their murdered son was on his way to his Police camp at Limankara, last Sunday afternoon, without even knowing what earlier transpired between his fellow MOPOL officer and a soldier when he was shot and died on the spot.
“We only got to know about our son’s tragic death in the social media. He was dressed in combat boot, jeans and a MOPOL T-shirt, with his rifle strapped on his shoulder, when he was shot.”
Dazang, wondered why an anti-craft gun will be used on a fellow security officer by another security personnel.
She said: “The anti-aircraft truck, which is a lethal ammunition, has the ability to bring down a plane or helicopter from the sky. This is a dangerous firearm or ammunition that can even destroy an armoured tank. That a soldier will use it to eliminate an innocent, but a fellow security officer like him, is unimaginable.”
Mrs. Dazang, pointed out that her and the distraught family of Rowland are yet to recover from the grim shock of his death.
She said: “A vibrant Police officer, with a very young family, in a twinkle of an eye, was deliberately killed; His life wasted just like that: What was his fault? He wasn’t killed while fighting terrorists but by a soldier while walking, unprovoked and also did not provoked anyone. So, why take his life? That is barbaric, and wicked.”
She added: “As I speak to you now, the late Rowland’s wife is emotionally-broken. She has not seen her husband for so long. And both she and their two lovely daughters of five and two years respectively were looking forward to a reunion with their husband, and father, before this unavoidable tragedy struck.

“What has Rowland done for anyone to take his life? The soldier who killed Rowland must be brought to book. Our son was there in Borno to defend his country. So, why should he be eliminated by someone he never hurt, or offended?”
Attempts by PRNigeria to get reactions from both the spokespersons of the Nigerian Army and the Police, Colonel Sagir Musa and DCP Frank Mba proved abortive as their mobile line could not be reached while text messages sent were not replied.
The burial of the parents of the leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Nnamdi Kanu comes up next week, precisely February 14. Already, tension is mounting in Afaraukwu, Umuahia, Abia state the country home of the Kanu’s.
Prince Emmanuel Kanu said they are not preparing for war as security agencies would want the world to know. He called on the Federal Government to allow them bury their parents in peace.
“I have a word for the Federal Government, they should allow us bury our parents in peace. Why are soldiers parading our community intermittently, who are they looking for? A community that is mourning, what are you coming there to look for? The soldiers parading Afaraukwu should be drafted to the North East where their services are needed.”
