Arsenal winger Willian ‘will have to test negative for coronavirus before returning to training’

Arsenal‘s Willian will have to record a negative coronavirus test before being allowed to return to training at the club this week, according to a report.

The winger has spent the international break in Dubai after not being called up to the Brazil team for November’s matches.

And now Willian will have to take a Covid-19 test and it will have to come back negative in order for him to train at the Gunners, according to The Telegraph.

Although he has not had to self-isolate now back in the UK, the report claims that he will have to take a test for the illness to prove that he has not contracted it.

Willian has appeared in a clip on Instagram at the Nusr-Et Steakhouse in Dubai alongside restaurateur Nusret Gokce, also known as Salt Bae, on Monday night.

The latest Government guidance on travelling abroad during the second UK lockdown states: ‘Travelling away from home, including internationally, is restricted from England except in limited circumstances such as for work or for education.’

Specifically, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office does not advise against travel to the United Arab Emirates and from November 14, those returning from the country do not need to self-isolate.

The Telegraph reported that the Premier League club were trying to find out the full details of Willian’s trip to Dubai on Tuesday.
