Arsenal's Premier League match with Brighton and Hove Albion has been postponed after Mikel Arteta tested positive for coronavirus.
Arsenal's trip to Brighton has now been called off after the Gunners closed their training ground.
Arteta said: "This is really disappointing but I took the test after feeling poorly. I will be at work as soon as I'm allowed."
Managing director Vinai Venkatesham said: "The health of our people and the wider public is our priority and that is where our focus is.
"We are in active dialogue with all the relevant people to manage this situation appropriately, and we look forward to getting back to training and playing as soon as medical advice allows."
In a statement on their official website Brighton also said: "In light of the news that broke earlier on Thursday evening concerning Arsenal head coach Mikel Arteta and his first-team squad, we can confirm that Saturday’s match against Arsenal has now been postponed.

Still postponing games. Suspend the league already. If you want to give the title to Liverpool give it no one f*cking cares. The safety of people comes before anything

Postpone all games. You don't have to wait until all the club become infected before you postpone the game. The safety of all should be considered

For Catholics and Christians: remember Noah's Ark? That was a sign from God that the world was misbehaving and we're rightly punished, then many other signs went on and now this might possibly be another sign that we humans need to change our ways, earlier this year the most feared thing was an outbreak of a world war 3 between Iran and USA....now the most feared thing is this damn virus, we need to pray for deliverance and forgiveness, signs are coming that our Lord Jesus's second coming is nearing soon....I don't want it to happen so soon but its all God's plan, we have to pray for our safety and repent our sins 🙏🙏
