Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has tested positive for coronavirus, the club announced Thursday.
“The health of our people and the wider public is our priority and that is where our focus is," Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham said. "Our thoughts are with Mikel who is disappointed but in good spirits. We are in active dialogue with all the relevant people to manage this situation appropriately, and we look forward to getting back to training and playing as soon as medical advice allows.”
Arsenal's training center will be closed following the news of Arteta's test and club personnel who had recent contact with Arteta will self-isolate in accord with government health guidelines.
