Arsenal 'could sneak into next season's Champions League with places in Europe to be decided by UEFA's coefficient system' if season cannot be concluded due to coronavirus crisis

Arsenal could be handed a place in next season's Champions League if the current domestic campaign cannot be concluded due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The national member associations of European football's governing body gathered for a conference call on Tuesday for an update on 'a variety of calendar options' to complete the 2019-20 season and UEFA again urged them to do all they can to complete their league and cup competitions.

But if the Premier League cannot be concluded due to the current suspension of football, it could offer Arsenal a major boost in terms of a return to Europe's top table, despite Mikel Arteta's side sitting ninth in the top-flight table.
