And Liverpool got the match postponed to their benefit.
It's not like we've not been negatively impacted, we were without a lot of players first couple of games of the season, had our Wolves game & Liverpool game postponed because the other team requested it, & were dumped out the FA Cup largely because we had to play a really inexperienced midfield.
Arteta asked for more clarity last month and many were calling him a cry arse, we watched Leicester get games called off last week with AFCON as part of their reason so it would almost be neglectful of Arsenal not to try the same if it was to their advantage and not outwith the rules.
Blame the Premier League for allowing the loophole in the first place. As far as Im aware, Cedric, Chambers, Tierney, Kolasinac, Tomiyasu, Xhaka, Partey, Elneny, Odegaard, Saka, Pepe, Smith-Rowe, Aubameyang and whoever tested positive yesterday were all missing the game today.
