Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta says that his players have embraced the homework he has been giving them.

Much like other footballers in England, the Gunners stars are doing fitness routines and tactical work in self isolation.

It means that Arteta often sends details to the players that they can work on individually, or in small groups.

Arteta is himself recovering from the virus after he tested positive two weeks ago.

"There are different aspects that we have to try to maintain," Arteta told reporters.

"There is the psychological support that they need, which we are giving them, and as well I'm giving them a lot of homework to do because I've been reviewing everything that we've been doing since I joined.

"There are things we have to maintain doing, improve and develop, and individually they are really enjoying the challenge.

"We might get a few coaches after this virus, or at least a few players that are willing to go down that path, because I think they are really enjoying the process.

"In difficult moments is where you really see the people and how they react, how they think and how they prioritise things.

"All the phone calls I'm having with all the members of the board and all my technical staff, all the coaching staff, all the players, how aware and how encouraged they all are to try to help, to try to be on board with the situation and to try to make things easier for the club has been amazing."
