Arsenal have been offered assurances from the Azerbaijan FA that there will be 'no issue' regarding the safety and security of Henrikh Mkhitaryan at the Europa League final.
The Gunners playmaker is widely expected to be omitted from Unai Emery's travelling squad to to face Chelsea due to concerns over the player's safety in Baku, given the ongoing diplomatic tensions between Azerbaijan and Mkhitaryan's home nation Armenia.
A long-standing conflict over the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh region continues to strain relations between the two nations, and as such Arsenal are yet to make a final decision over Mkhitaryan's involvement in the showpiece event.
