Arsenal Provide Reassuring Update on Arteta's Coronavirus Situation
Arsenal have provided a reassuring update on the health of manager Mikel Arteta, who has been self-isolating after testing positive for COVID-19.
The 38-year-old Spaniard has been absent from the club's training ground and matches since March 12, when he became the first Premier League manager to contract the virus.
In a statement released on Friday, Arsenal confirmed that Arteta is "making good progress" and is expected to return to work soon.
"Everyone at the club is pleased to report that Mikel Arteta is making good progress in his recovery from COVID-19," the statement read. "He is currently self-isolating at home and is expected to return to work at the training ground in the coming days."
The news will come as a relief to Arsenal fans, who have been concerned about the health and well-being of their manager. Arteta's absence has been felt on the pitch, with the team winning just one of their last five Premier League matches.
Despite the setback, Arsenal remain in contention for a top-six finish in the Premier League and will be looking to bounce back to winning ways when they face West Ham United in their next match.
The club has also been working closely with the Premier League and Public Health England to ensure that all necessary protocols are in place to minimize the risk of further transmission.
Arsenal's statement concluded: "We would like to thank everyone for their support and understanding during this time. We will continue to provide updates on Mikel's progress in due course."
In the meantime, the entire Arsenal squad and staff will continue to follow the necessary protocols to ensure their health and safety, and the club will continue to operate as normal.
