Unai Emery relaxed on switch of match venue to Kiev

Unai Emery says Arsenal will respect Uefa’s decision to move their Europa League tie against Vorskla Poltava to Kiev — with Henrikh Mkhitaryan claiming it is more inconvenient for the Ukrainians.

The venue for the Group E clash was switched to Kiev’s Olympic Stadium from the Stadion Vorskla in Poltava - around 185 miles east of the Ukrainian capital - after martial law was declared in some regions of the country.
