MIKEL ARTETA believes the integrity of the Premier League has been damaged already by the Covid fixture chaos.
Arsenal’s request to have today’s North London derby at Tottenham postponed was granted yesterday after their application to the Premier League on Friday due to a host of players being unavailable.
A mixture of coronavirus, injuries, suspension, and players being away at the Africa Cup of Nations led to them “reluctantly” taking the step to ask for a postponement.
“Following a request from Arsenal FC, the Premier League Board met today and regrettably agreed to postpone the club’s away fixture against Tottenham Hotspur, due to be played at 4.30pm on Sunday 16 January,” a statement read.
