The English Premier League suspended all fixtures until 4 April on Friday after a spate of coronavirus cases, including Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi.

“Following a meeting of shareholders today, it was
unanimously decided to suspend the Premier League with the intention of
returning on 4 April, subject to medical advice and conditions at the
time,” the Premier League said in a statement.

Chelsea’s players and coaching staff were ordered into isolation as Callum Hudson-Odoi became the first Premier League player confirmed to have the new coronavirus late on Thursday.
