The Premier League will hold an emergency meeting on Friday after it was revealed Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta had contracted coronavirus.
The shock news came on the day English football was told by the government to carry on as normal.
But Arsenal’s situation forced the Premier League to schedule an emergency conference call on Friday morning with all 20 clubs. The Gunners’ match at Brighton on Saturday has been postponed.
The League will face pressure from clubs to call off the rest of the matches this weekend.
