Arsenal midfielder Henrik Mkhitaryan will miss the away match of the Europa League against Karabakh, reports Telegraph..

The reason for this is the Karabakh conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan.. Armenians are denied entry to Azerbaijan, but the government of the country can make an exception. So in 2015 they promised to issue a visa to Mkhitaryan when he was supposed to play against Gabala as part of Dortmund Borussia.

Nevertheless, Henry was worried about his safety, so he refused to travel. The midfielder made the same decision this time..

The match of the second round of the group stage of the Europa League between Karabakh and Arsenal will be held on Thursday, October 4. The beginning of the meeting at 17:50 Kyiv time.
