Ukrainian club Vorskla Poltava says it can’t guarantee it will be able to play Arsenal in Kiev after Uefa moved the game.

Europe’s governing body moved the Europa League match from Poltava to the capital, which is more than 200 miles away, following the Ukrainian parliament’s decision to impose martial law in several parts of the country amid fears of a war with neighbouring Russia.

The match was moved despite the fact that neither city has had martial law imposed.

Vorskla vice president Oleh Lysak says the club hasn’t received confirmation from the Olympic Stadium that it will host the game. There are also unresolved questions about how ticket sales for two stadiums can be managed.

More than 17,000 tickets for the match in Poltava had been sold and Vorskla fans do not know if they will be valid for the Olympic Stadium and will have no way of getting back home after Thursday’s match.

Lysak said: “The Olympic Stadium hasn’t given us any kind of confirmation or any other kind of answer.”

And now reports claim the Ukrainian Premier League side are trying to get the match switched back to their home stadium – despite the Gunners already being en route to Kiev.

A club official claimed: “As of 11 o’clock this morning, Vorskla continues to prepare the stadium for the game. We have sold more than 17,000 tickets and 120 hotel rooms have been reserved for the journalists.

“Vorskla sent documents to UEFA with security guarantees and the reasons for this decision is still not clear as Poltava is not in one of the regions where martial law has been introduced.”

The Sun report some Vorskla fans took to the club’s website are even threatening a boycott of the match.

One fan claimed: “UEFA once again proves that it spits on teams from other countries in the interest of teams from the top five championships.”

Another wrote: “If the match is played in Kiev, then a boycott is needed. UEFA should not be allowed to wipe their feet on Poltava fans.

But UEFA are adamant that the decision to play the match in Kiev is final, with Arsenal now flying direct to the Ukrainian capital after abandoning plans to travel to Kharkiv and then take a 100-mile bus trip to Poltava.

Unai Emery’s squad had been scheduled to train in Poltava this evening but staged their final work-out at their London Colney base this morning instead.

Up to 500 Arsenal supporters have travelled to Ukraine for their side’s penultimate group game and have already been advised to travel to Kiev by train for tomorrow’s match.
