Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has opened up on his coronavirus scare, admitting he knew he had the deadly disease as soon as he found that Olympiacos owner Evangelos Marinakis was infected.
The Spaniard was the first big name in English football to test positive for the virus and his diagnosis sent approximately 100 members of Arsenal staff, including his first-team squad, into self-isolation and triggered the suspension of Premier League matches earlier this month.
It came just days after Marinakis announced he had been infected. The Greek businessman had been in attendance at the Emirates Stadium to watch his side play Arsenal in the Europa League on February 27.
