Good news for some Arsenal players.

Arsenal‘s Premier League fixture against Manchester City was postponed until further notice. The Premier League released a statement with that regard which read: “Following medical advice, Arsenal FC and Manchester City FC consider it is necessary to postpone their fixture due to be played this evening to give time to fully assess the situation.

As a result, the club have quaranteed thier players in self-isolation. The club is working to government guidelines that define “close contact” as being within two metres of somebody who has the virus for longer than 15 minutes. Those who fit that definition will self-isolate until a 14-day period since that contact has expired, effectively meaning they will be able to return to training on Friday before Saturday’s match at Brighton.

No Arsenal player has been tested positive for Coronavirus so far. Olympiacos on Wednesday confirmed that all of its players and staff have tested negative for coronavirus. This revelation by the club comes after their owner Evangelos Marinakis had tested positive for the coronavirus.

Olympiacos’s owner Marinakis was present at the Emirates Stadium for Arsenal’s Europa League match with the side on February 27 and the owner had met with several Arsenal players and was also seen meeting with his own team.
