Following yesterday's news that Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis has recently contracted Covid-19, we have been taking medical advice and tracing any individuals who had what the guidelines define as close with him at the game 13 days ago.


As a result of this exercise we identified that a number of players met the Olympiacos owner immediately following the game.

The medical advice we have received puts the risk of them developing Covid-19 at extremely low. However, we are strictly following the Government guidelines which recommend that anyone coming into close with someone with the virus should self-isolate at home for 14 days from the last time they had .

As a result, the players are unavailable for tonight's match against Manchester City and the Premier League has decided the game should be postponed.

The players will remain at their homes until the 14-day period expires. Four Arsenal staff - who were sitting close to Mr Marinakis during the match - will also remain at home until the 14 days are complete.

We fully understand how disappointing this is for our ers, in particular those who were travelling to Manchester for tonight's match. Tickets will be valid for the match when it's rearranged.

As a further precautionary measure, whilst we do not believe there was any close with any other Arsenal guests or staff in the directors box restaurant, we are ing them to advise they should follow the relevant advice if there has been any such .

Everyone at Arsenal Football Club wishes Mr Marinakis a swift recovery and we look forward to the players and staff returning to work on Friday in preparation for our match at Brighton.

What's up with Maurice Iwu drug?

This is the most humbling time I have ever witnessed ... A time where the rich and the poor fear alike ... Where ministers of health are diagnosed with the virus the same way a regular Joe gets it... It has now been discovered that the virus can last 30 minutes in the air and stay alive on surfaces for 2 day depending on temperature... I just imagined how possible it is to avoid thus virus ... If you don't shake hands you might just walk behind someone who is leaving 30 mins trail behind and in hale it but again what if you are always wearing face mask ... I believe you will have to go to market ...pick up your items and also prepare them at home ... The market one weak me because I can avoid human or interaction... But how far chow ? 2020... Trumpet fit sound any day now

This is serious ooo

The epl should just go on a 14 self isolation for all players and staff. Perhaps all over the world. Only there's too much money involved and the powers that be might not approve this.
A 14 day break will help identify any threats and also disinfect all stadiums and remaining games be played behind closed doors. Season is almost over anyways.

Too early to call off Euro 2020?

Lolzzzz

This one weak me ooooo

The blood of Jesus exempts us from plagues and diseases. We are more than conquerors.

To those that believe. Amen.

Just when I thought that this pandemic is almost over, boom it is gathering momentum.

Damn!

Stick to the safety guidelines please.

Stock up your kitchens as contingency means.

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and clean water before you take them close to your mouth, nose, eyes and ears

Stay far away from people in any possible way.

And finally, dear aristisos, social workers and wh0res, stop fvcking anyhow men from the abroad or even within for the meantime.

Stop putting the lives of your original boyfriends or fiances at risk because of your greed.

Don't use your coronavirus infested mouth and saliva to kiss innocent men please.

Dear gigolos,

Keep your lazy a55ess in one place for now. Don't infect your wives, girlfriends or fiancees with your coronavirus infested lives.

Let's be guided.
