Arsenal manager, Mikel Arteta, has spoken in detail for the first time about his coronavirus infection.
Arteta tested positive on March 12 ahead of a trip to Manchester City, leading to the Premier League postponing fixtures.
The Spaniard believes he contracted COVID-19, after the team’s Europa League clash against Greek side Olympiakos, whose owner had the coronavirus.
“I am feeling completely recovered. It’s true I started having some symptoms when we got the phone call from the club [Olympiakos] to let us know that we might be exposed to the virus. I don’t know, I felt something within me, that I had it.
“Then you realise, ‘Wow, everybody can be exposed here, this is very serious’ and you start to think about the people that you’ve been in contact with and the other people that can be related to us. That’s when a bit of fear comes,” Arteta told Arsenal’s website.
Anaedoonline recently reported that Mikel Arteta’s wife, Lorena Bernal, revealed the update on her husband’s health condition after the Arsenal manager tested positive for Coronavirus.

News that Arteta and Chelsea forward, Callum Hudson-Odoi had contracted COVID-19, forced the Premier League to put the English top-flight league on hold until April 4.
Providing an update on Arteta’s condition, Lorena said in a video she posted on her official Instagram page at the weekend: “Under the circumstances that we are right now, I felt the responsibility of sharing our situation.
“I want to say thank you to everyone who sent good vibes, texts, emails, and calls, really it’s been overwhelming. I understand as well that you want to know what’s going on.
“My husband is feeling fine, and he is well. Indeed he had symptoms of the virus, but the symptoms would have never stopped him from going to work in a normal situation.
“He would have just taken ibuprofen or paracetamol, and he would have gone to work, so really, it’s nothing major. Some temperatures, some headaches but that’s it. That’s his experience. My kids and I are perfectly well.”
