Henrikh Mkhitaryan fears for his safety amidst a political dispute between Armenia and Europa League final host Azerbaijan.
The Premier League club have decided against Mkhitaryan travelling with the rest of Unai Emery’s squad for next Wednesday’s game. Azerbaijan’s ambassador to the UK, Tahir Taghizadeh, had insisted Mkhitaryan would be free from any threat of violence, but it was reported the star didn’t believe he would be safe on the pitch.
UEFA, European football’s governing body, insisted they had done all they could to ensure Mkhitaryan’s safety in Baku. “We have written to UEFA expressing our deep concerns about this situation,” the Arsenal statement added.
