Arsenal's UEFA Europa League Game in Doubt, According to Vorskla Poltava

Arsenal's UEFA Europa League game away to Vorskla Poltava on Thursday is in doubt, according to the Ukrainian Premier League club's vice president Oleg Lisak.

He offered "no guarantee" Vorskla would participate in the Group E match, per BBC Sport, amid concerns about security. Rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine have led to UEFA moving the game to the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev.

Vorskla had been trying to host the match at their regular venue, the Oleksiy Butovsky Vorskla Stadium. However, European football's governing body initiated the change after martial law was implemented in part of the country.
