Coronavirus: Arsenal doctor consults other clubs over when players should return to training

Arsenal have been in discussions with medical staff from across the Premier League as they decide on whether or not their players should return to the training ground this week.

The club's players have been in self-isolation for nearly two weeks after manager Mikel Arteta tested positive for the coronavirus earlier this month.

The recommended 14 days of isolation ends on Tuesday, meaning the squad could be allowed to train together again towards the end of the week.
