LONDON. —English Premier League football side Arsenal have cancelled their training that was scheduled for today, the club confirmed.

The Gunners were placed under self-isolation after their manager Mikel Arteta tested positive for the coronavirus.

A statement from Arsenal read: “Our men’s first-team players were scheduled to return to training on Tuesday after completing 14 days isolation following Mikel Arteta’s positive diagnosis for the virus.

“As a result of the current situation, we are clear it would be inappropriate and irresponsible to ask players to come back at this time.’’ — AFP.
