CORONAVIRUS: Arsenal To Return To Training On Tuesday After Isolation

Arsenal players remain on course to return to training next Tuesday following their period of self-isolation due to the coronavirus outbreak. Head coach Mikel Arteta tested positive for COVID-19 last week, prompting Arsenal’s game at Brighton to be postponed and playing a part in the Premier League opting to cancel all fixtures until April 4, at the earliest.

In line with government advice, all Arsenal players and backroom staff were forced into a 14-day self-isolation period due to working in such close proximity to Arteta. That ends on Tuesday and, as things stand, the club’s London Colney training base will reopen and training will resume ahead of the planned home game against Norwich on April 4.

Arteta is understood to be feeling better and in good spirits having had a positive test for Coronavirus last week Thursday.
