Arenal Football Club has given an update on the health condition of its manager Mikel Arteta who last week tested positive to coronavirus.

News of Arteta and Chelsea's Hudson-Odoi testing positive forced the English Premier League to postpone games to April 30.

In a statement issued on their official website, Arsenal stated that Arteta is feeling better in isolation at home.

The statement reads in part: “Our training centres in London Colney and Hale End were closed for deep cleaning after Mikel’s diagnosis with the virus but have now reopened with a small workforce to maintain the facilities and training pitches.

“Some number of staff, including Mikel and the men’s first-team squad, are currently isolating at home.

“We’re pleased to say that Mikel is feeling much better. He’s in good spirits, doing detailed planning with the coaches and speaking to the players regularly.”
