The Premier League suspended all fixtures at an emergency meeting on Friday. Matches in the English Football League, FA Women’s Super League and Women’s Championship are also on hold.
The virus is not expected to peak in Britain for many weeks, raising doubts over an early April re-start for the Premier League. The decision was taken after Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi tested positive for Covid-19.“Feeling better already,” he tweeted. “We’re all facing a huge & unprecedented challenge. Everyone’s health is all that matters right now.”
He said in a club statement: “If it’s a choice between football and the good of the wider society, it’s no contest. Really, it isn’t.” Arsenal's Spanish head coach Mikel Arteta has tested positive for the coronavirus, the Premier League club announced on March 12, 2020. AFP Football finance expert Kieran Maguire told the BBC that clubs, especially in the lower divisions, would be hit hard by the disruption.
