The Premier League has revealed in a statement, thus: “In light of Arsenal’s announcement tonight confirming that their first-team coach Mikel Arteta has tested positive for COVID-19, the Premier League will convene an emergency club meeting on Friday morning regarding future fixtures. 

“The Premier League will make no further comment until after that meeting.”
