On the evening of December 29, Beijing time, Arsenal officially confirmed that the 39-year-old coach Arteta was once again infected with the new crown and would miss the weekend game against Manchester City.
In March last year, Arteta became the first manager in the Premier League to contract a new crown, but he did not expect to be recruited again after 21 months. Arteta, like Chelsea striker Odoi, is infected with covid-19 for the second time, and Hudson-Odoi also just returned from a match with Villa two days ago.
According to the official Premier League news, in the past week from December 20 to 26, a total of 103 new people tested positive for the new crown, with a total of 6 games postponed in the 18th round of the league, and 3 games in the 19th round and 20th round.
Arsenal have recently gone on a four-game winning streak in the Premier League following a 2-1 away loss to Everton. With Tottenham and Manchester United battling for four points recently, Arsenal secure a fourth-place position in the Premier League. They are currently 5 and 7 points ahead of Tottenham and Manchester United in three more games. Arteta will miss a home game against Manchester City due to the new crown. Now arsenal and Manchester City have been in good shape lately, and Arteta has not been able to conduct on the sidelines, which undoubtedly greatly reduces Arsenal's chances of scoring points at home.
