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.
