Arsenal say they are"hugely concerned" that Henrikh Mkhitaryan could potentially miss the Europa League final against Chelsea in Baku.LONDON - Arsenal says they are"hugely concerned" that Henrikh Mkhitaryan could potentially miss the Europa League final against Chelsea in Baku because of tensions between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
"We are seeking guarantees from UEFA that it will be safe for Henrikh Mkhitaryan to travel to Baku for the Europa League final, which both Arsenal and Micki require for him to be included within our squad," Arsenal said in a statement. Azerbaijan and Armenia have feuded over Nagorny Karabakh since Armenian separatists seized the territory in a war that claimed about 30,000 lives in the early 1990s.
