Arsenal fans enjoy themselves in Russia despite warning not to ‘look for adventures’ ahead of Europa League clash with CSKA Moscow

The handful of Arsenal fans who have made the trip to Russia to watch their side face CSKA Moscow have been looking to make light of concerns over safety.

Only around 300 Gunners supporters are expected to have traveled to the Russian capital for the Europa League quarter final second leg on Thursday.

It comes amid political tensions between Britain and Russia after the poisoning of former Russian double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter Yulia in Salisbury, as well as concerns for fan safety following battles between Russian hooligans and England fans at Euro 2016.
