Arsenal demand to know why Uefa chose Baku as the venue for the Europa League final
While Liverpool and Tottenham supporters group ask Champions League sponsors to give their tickets to fans
Arsenal forward, and Armenia captain, Henrikh Mkhitaryan is unlikely to feature for the Gunners in Azerbaijan due to the hostility between the two countries

ARSENAL have slammed Uefa for selecting Baku as the host of the 2019 Europa League final after season-ticket holders with dual British and Armenian citizenship were denied visas.

The decision to play the match in the Azerbaijani capital caused great concern among fans before the the Gunners and Chelsea reached the final and have worsened since.

Arsenal winger and Armenia captain Henrikh Mkhitaryan was unable to play against Qarabag in Baku earlier in the competition because of the hostility between the two countries and it’s likely he will miss the final for the same reason.
