Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta has tested positive for coronavirus. The Gunners have closed their training ground and club staff who had contact with Arteta will now self-isolate.
Arteta said in a statement: "This is really disappointing but I took the test after feeling poorly. I will be at work as soon as I’m allowed."
Arsenal believe a ‘great number of people’ – including first-team staff and coaches – will self-isolate and confirmed the Hale End Academy will also temporarily close.
Head of football at Arsenal, Raul Sanllehi, said: "Mikel and the full first-team squad, players and staff, will be fully supported, and we look forward to getting back to training and playing as soon as medical advice allows it.
"Obviously Mikel’s full recovery is the priority now for us all and the entire club.
Managing director Vinai Venkatesham also added: "The health of our people and the wider public is our priority and that is where our focus lies.
"Our thoughts are with Mikel who is disappointed, but in good spirits.
"We are in active dialogue with all the relevant people to manage this situation appropriately, and we look forward to getting back to training and playing as soon as medical advice allows."

On Thursday, it was announced Man City defender Benjamin Mendy is in self-isolation as a precaution after a member of his family was admitted to hospital displaying symptoms of coronavirus.
