The Premier League will hold “an emergency club meeting” on Friday to discuss future fixtures. “This is really disappointing but I took the test after feeling poorly,” said Spaniard Arteta, 37. “I will be at work as soon as I’m allowed.” Arsenal expects a “significant number of people” will self-isolate, including first-team staff and coaches. “The health of our people and the wider public is our priority and that is where our focus is,” said club managing director Vinai Venkatesham.
