London.
In opposition to almost all the championships and even other European modalities, the Premier League decided to keep the games of the 30th round of the competition, scheduled for the weekend, running normally.
Only now Arsenal will not have a coach to guide the team – well, neither team … – against Brighton on Saturday, as Mikel Arteta is infected with Covid-19.
“It is really very disappointing, but after feeling bad, I was tested. I will get back to work as soon as they leave me,” said the Spanish coach, quoted by the club .
Arsenal also announced that Colney’s training center has been closed and all staff who have been in contact with Arteta will now be quarantined as a preventive measure. The problem is that this involves a large number of people: “It is a significant number, including the entire team and all the technical staff, as well as other people in our Academy”.
In other words, Arsenal will not be able to fulfill such a journey this weekend that the Premier League insists on maintaining: “It is clear to us that we will not be able to play some of the games that we have currently scheduled. We will update the fans who have tickets for the next ones. games as soon as possible.
