In a statement, Arsenal said, "Saturday's FA Women's Super League fixture against Aston Villa Women has been postponed due to health and safety concerns." It further added, "Although initially all of our first-team players tested negative on return from the Christmas break, one player has subsequently tested positive for Covid-19 this week. As a result, several first-team players are now observing a period of self-isolation as a precaution in accordance with FA and UK Government protocol."

Arsenal said the fixture will be rescheduled and a new date will be announced in due course. Earlier today, Manchester City women's team confirmed four positive corona cases due to which their FA Women's Super League clash against West Ham United was postponed.
