Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta’s “primary frustration” during his recovery from the Coronavirus is the time being spent off work, according to the Guardian.
It was confirmed yesterday that the Spaniard had contracted the illness but there are no concerns about his health and he is expected to make a full recovery.
Supporters on Twitter have been praising Arteta’s attitude:
Our manager is a different animal ??

The Gunners have closed their London Colney and Hale End training centres with their players now in self-isolation until near the end of the month.
With the Premier League now having suspended games until April 3rd at the earliest, there are no concerns regarding the postponement of fixtures.
Arteta’s diagnosis has, however, hit home how quickly the outbreak has impacted on the game of football, and with no certainty over when the pandemic will hit its peak, there are now question marks over whether the season will be completed at all.
