Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has tested positive for COVID-19, prompting the Premier League to announce they will hold an emergency meeting on Friday to discuss future fixtures.
Arsenal closed their training ground as a result of Arteta's positive test, with Gunners players and club staff who had recent contact with the Spaniard now forced to self-isolate.
"This is really disappointing but I took the test after feeling poorly," Arteta said in a statement on Arsenal's website. "I will be at work as soon as I'm allowed."
Later in the day, the Premier League also released a statement: "In light of Arsenal's announcement tonight confirming that their first-team coach Mikel Arteta has tested positive for COVID-19, the Premier League will convene an emergency club meeting tomorrow morning regarding future fixtures."
As it stands, all Premier League matches are scheduled to go ahead as planned this weekend.
However, according to BBC, all 20 Premier League clubs want to decide on a unified strategy. One of the options on the table is postponing the rest of this weekend's scheduled fixtures.
