Arsenal have delayed the return of their players at all levels, despite the entire club undergoing a 14-day quarantine, as they believe it would not be safe to get back to business as normal.

Arsenal have been in self-isolation for 14 days after Mikel Arteta tested positive.
They were due to return to ‘normal’ this week and get back to training but, as you might have noticed, things aren’t quite ‘normal’.
Arsenal confirm first team will not be returning to training on Tuesday, say it would be "inappropriate and irresponsible" to do so

"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. Therefore our men’s first team, women and academy players are all remaining at home. Stay at home and save lives."

Be like Arsenal – STAY AT HOME!
