Arsenal cancel pre-season tour of United States
Arsenal won't travel to the United States for the Florida Cup after minor coronavirus cases within the squad.
The Gunners were due to travel to Florida tomorrow, but the plans have been dashed by positive COVID-19 tests.
They have cancelled their pre-season tour, and the players are likely to self-isolate over the next week.
The Gunners have had a disappointing pre-season with a draw and defeat against Rangers and Hibernian.
They were scheduled to face Inter Milan in Florida on Sunday, and either Everton or Millonarios three days later.
That won't happen now. The Gunners still have games against Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea to look forward next month.
They are expected to face their London counterparts in the Mind Series that is being played to promote better mental health.
The club start their Premier League campaign on August 13 with a Friday night game at newly-promoted Brentford.
The preparation has not been ideal so far, and manager Mikel Arteta will hope for a strong end to pre-season.
