The Gunners captain has been involved in discussions - led by Liverpool's skipper - aimed at striking a deal to reduce wages and give cash to the NHS
Mikel Arteta and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be involved in a conference call with other Premier League bosses and captains on Saturday afternoon to try and finalise an agreement about a wage reduction deal.
The move to reduce player salaries is aimed at safeguarding club’s finances during the coronavirus crisis while also generating millions of pounds for the NHS.
Discussions have been ongoing throughout the week over how football can move forward during the pandemic, with an announcement coming on Friday that leagues in England - which had been scheduled to start again in May - would now be suspended indefinitely until government advice stated it was safe to return.
