Europa League: Arsenal To Play Friendly Ahead Chelsea Clash

As the Europa League final against Chelsea draws near, Arsenal is set to play LASK Linz in a friendly on Thursday.

Worried about the 17-day gap between the last Gunners match against Burnley and the Chelsea fixtures, manager Unai Emery has arranged for a game against the Austrian side.

The match which will be played behind closed doors will take place at Arsenal’s London Colney training ground.

LASK finished second behind Red Bull Salzburg in the Austrian Bundesliga last season.
