The players will have access to training pitches at their Colney ground but on a strict rotational basis that will see them uphold social distancing measures. "Access will be limited, carefully managed and social distancing will be maintained at all times," the club said. Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was diagnosed with the novel coronavirus on March 12, which led to the Premier League postponing the next round of matches and none have been played since. Premier League clubs have been working on the basis that the earliest they may be allowed to resume training would be in early May. The Football League, which organizes the three divisions below the Premier League, highlighted testing of players and others involved in games as the key issue.
