“Our manager David Moyes is also in self-isolation although that is a sensible precaution as he is showing no symptoms at all.”

With Arteta and Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi both having picked up the illness, the decision to suspend Premier League matches became inevitable. However, Brady has also suggested that the season could now be cancelled if the pandemic worsens:

“There is no dodging the possibility that all levels in the EFL, as well as the Premier League, will have to be cancelled and this season declared null and void because if the players can’t play the games can’t go ahead. The PL hopes that an interlude of three weeks from today will enable it to restart but that may well be dreamland.”
