Arsenal in limbo after martial law in Ukraine leaves venue in doubt

• Europa League match against Vorskla Poltava switched to Kiev
• Vorskla: We have applied to play in Kiev and are awaiting reply

Arsenal’s Europa League match against Vorskla Poltava on Thursday remains in doubt after the Ukrainian side said they do not know where the game can be played.

Uefa decided on Tuesday to move the Group E game from Poltava’s Oleksiy Butovsky Stadium – around 185 miles east of Kiev – to the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in the capital owing to security concerns following the introduction of martial law. Politicians in the country this week approved a proposal to introduce martial law in areas most vulnerable to attack following the seizing of three Ukrainian ships by Russia.
