Arsenal manager Mikel Artita has said that his players have been in constant contact with a psychiatrist during a pause in competition in the wake of the emerging Corona virus (Covid-19) epidemic.

Arsenal players have not met since the detection of Artita infection with the Corona virus a month ago, where they were subjected to self-isolation and exercised individually in their homes, with the imposition of a state of closure in the country.

The situation was not unusual for the players, and Artita was keen to provide any assistance that the players might need.

"We have a psychiatrist who looks after the players, and he is in constant contact with them," Spain's Arteta said in comments published by Sky Sports.

He added: "But we also continuously send information and videos and continue to occupy their time ... We are also keen to keep them close to their work and the people associated with their work, and we are members of the technical staff."

He continued: "We had some good conversations. This time really helped me, at least in getting to know the players better, we are trying to improve relations and communicate and enhance understanding between us."
