Arteta tests positive for COVID and will miss Man City visit in the EPL
Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has tested positive for coronavirus again and will be absent for the Premier League match against Manchester City on New Year's Day, the club said on Wednesday.
Arteta’s positive test in March 2020 was a key factor in the suspension of the league in the first week of the pandemic.
Arteta is the third Premier League manager currently isolating after contracting COVID-19, after Crystal Palace's Patrick Vieira and Aston Villa's Steven Gerrard.
“Mikel is isolating in line with government guidelines and we wish him well,” Arsenal said.
Arteta was previously the assistant coach at Manchester City.
