Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says he is “feeling better already” after testing positive for coronavirus.
The Gunners have closed their training ground, while staff who had recent contact with Arteta are self-isolating.
“Thanks for your words and support,” the Spaniard, 37, wrote on Twitter. “We’re all facing a huge and unprecedented challenge.
“Everyone’s health is all that matters right now. Protect each other by following the guidelines,” he added.
“We’ll come through this together.”
All elite football in Britain has been suspended until at least 3 April as a result of the pandemic and Arteta added in his tweet: “Well done [the] Premier League for making the right decisions.”
Football’s suspension in Britain comes on a day of widespread sporting postponements worldwide.
Arsenal expect a “significant number of people” will self-isolate, including the full first-team squad.
“The health of our people and the wider public is our priority and that is where our focus is,” said Arsenal managing director Vinai Venkatesham on Thursday.
“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.”
