Arsenal could be without Henrikh Mkhitaryan for their Europa League final against Chelsea due to ongoing diplomatic tensions between his native Armenia and host country Azerbaijan.
The Gunners booked their place in the showpiece final on May 29 with a comfortable win over Spanish side Valencia on Thursday night.
Mkhitaryan only came on as substitute for Unai Emery’s side at the Mestalla but he could miss the final against their Premier League rivals later this month completely.
The Armenian missed Arsenal’s trip to Qarabag during this season’s group stage and the political strain between his homeland and Azerbaijan could mean he is unavailable again.
