Arsenal game called off

Post by Thor »

The game tonight against Manchester has been called off as the owner of olympiakos has tested positive for coronavirus after their prior game. He met some of the arsenal players who have now been put into self isolation, plus other who sat near him in the stadium.

Will further arsenal games be called off now as surely players will be missing and a full strength team won't be fielded.

They played Olympiakos on the 27th Feb so the 14 days period will be up by Friday, for any chance of getting the virus and so as long as none of the players have any symptoms they can resume training on Friday

What about the players of the teams that Arsenal have played since 27th Feb?
Should they self-quarantine given the close contact they came in to or should we wait until one of the Arsenal players is confirmed positive?

Don’t understand how Athletico Madrid fans can travel and attend the Liverpool game this evening as there last home game was behind closed doors and parts of Madrid are on lock down
