Arsenal midfielder Lucas Torreira has confirmed that boss Mikel Arteta has spoken to his players since contracting coronavirus.
A statement from the club on Thursday evening confirmed that the Spaniard had become the first person in the Premier League to fall victim to the virus.
Arteta's wife, Lorena Bernal, offered a positive update on his condition at the weekend, but Torreira admitted he was surprised to see the coronavirus reach the dressing room.
'The truth is that we didn't expect this virus to reach the club, the locker room,' Torreira told Uruguayan outlet Radio Sport 890.
