Harboursandport.com: LONDON - The
Premier League suspended fixtures after Mikel Arteta contracted COVID-19, but
the Arsenal boss is "feeling much better" and has been in
communication with the squad.
Mikel Arteta is "feeling much
better" and Arsenal's London Colney training ground has been re-opened,
the club has confirmed.
Arsenal manager Arteta contracted
COVID-19, prompting the entire Gunners squad to go into self-isolation, and
subsequently, the Premier League to suspend fixtures.
As a precaution Arsenal's London Colney training ground was also shut down to
undergo a deep clean.
The
Premier League has this Thursday announced that all fixtures will be suspended
until at least April 30.
But there
is good news from Arsenal, with Arteta well on the mend and the club even
re-opening their training ground to all a "small workforce" to
maintain facilities.
"Our
training centres in London Colney and Hale End were closed for deep cleaning
after Mikel's diagnosis with the virus but have now re-opened with a small
workforce to maintain the facilities and training pitches," an Arsenal
statement read.
"A
number of staff, including Mikel and the men's first-team squad, are currently
isolating at home.
