The Gunners’ legendary former manager – who is now Fifa’s Chief of Global Football Development – recently urged the public how they can help prevent the spread of the deadly bug.
Despite his new role, the Frenchman still can’t shake off the love he has for Arsenal, as he wore a pair of their navy shorts from the 2016/17 season – the last campaign the club won a trophy.
Arsenal are still in the FA Cup this term, and while the season has been postponed until April 30, Wenger has stated the campaign must be finished, even if it runs beyond June.
And he also lifted the lid on what it has been like to live in self-isolation in his native France.
Speaking to TalkSPORT, he said: “I believe the priority for the Premier League is to finish the season.
“That could mean pushing fixtures back until the end of June, but they have to do that.
“It’s a new way of life for everybody and we have to adapt.

“In France, it was a bit earlier than England, so we have to live isolated, with no more than five to ten contacts per day.
“That’s not easy.
“We thought football was the main priority in our lives, but we discover now that there are much more important things.”
