What the Arsenal players are doing during Premier League break due to coronavirus

We have an extended period without any football on our hands.

And that leaves many fans wondering what to do.

Most of us are left pondering what will actually happen come the end of the season.

The Premier League, and EFL have both been suspended until the beginning of April as a result of the coronavirus outbreak.

A total of 21 people have died from the virus in the UK so far, but the number of people testing positive for COVID-19 nis rising dramatically.

That has led to all professional football being called off for the next three weeks.

Footballers will have to keep themselves in shape, however, and will have to continue with training programmes to make sure they are ready for if and when normal service is resumed.

Arsenal and Chelsea players have been told to self-isolate as a result of the outbreak, while Tottenham players, who have shown no symptoms, are training as usual.

So what are the Gunners players actually doing with their time?

It would seem that all have been given their own personalised training plans to maintain fitness ahead of the return of the Premier League in April.

Guardian football reporter Nick Ames said on Twitter: "Told Arsenal doing their best to maintain some structure in this period of self-isolation and club shutdown.

"Players have been sent personalised training programmes; some already have gyms and equipment at home while others have received equipment to fit their plans."

No stone will be left unturned to make sure everyone is in the right frame of mind and shape when football does return.
