Ighalo Trains In Public Park, Prepares For Premier League Return

Odion Ighalo is ensuring he’s in tip-top shape for the return of the Premier League as he was seen training in a Cheshire Park on Monday.

The Manchester United star was pictured maintaining his fitness levels at a time when the Government announced that the top-flight could return behind closed doors as early as June 1.

Ighalo donned United training gear, including his No.25 shorts, as he took part in various training drills seemingly set out by his club.

The striker even took time out of his regime to sign an autograph for a fan, while abiding by the strict social distancing rules.

Top-level sport in England could restart behind closed doors from June 1 but spectators may not be able to attend venues until a vaccine is found.

The Government’s road map for exiting the lockdown imposed to limit the spread of coronavirus was published on Monday afternoon, setting out the conditions under which various activities can be safely carried out.

Step two of the road map, which cannot begin any earlier than June 1, includes “permitting cultural and sporting events to take place behind closed-doors for broadcast, while avoiding the risk of large-scale social contact”.
