Arsenal's trip to Brighton this weekend WILL go ahead despite the Gunners squad self-isolating over coronavirus fears after meeting with Olympiakos owner two weeks ago

Arsenal's game against Brighton on Saturday is set to go ahead despite the Gunners squad currently in self-isolation over coronavirus fears.

Their home match against Manchester City on Wednesday night was postponed after it was revealed a 'number' of Arsenal stars had met Olympiakos owner Evangelos Marinakis, who has been diagnosed with the virus, when the clubs met in the Europa League nearly two weeks ago.

The club said those who were in close contract with Marinakis will self-isolate but will be able to return to training on Friday, two weeks after they had contact with him.
