Arsenal were set to play Manchester City on Wednesday in the league but the game was postponed following the coronavirus outbreak in the Arsenal camp.

Elneny meanwhile, will have to play on Sunday in the Istanbul derby against Sunday as the Turkish football authorities have deemed the league safe to go ahead.

The matches will be played behind closed doors over the weekend but there are no plans to suspend football.
