Arsenal to play against Qarabag in Europa League 2018/19 season. Henrikh Mkhitaryan again won’t be able to assist his team.

Azerbaijan have banned Armenians from entering the country over tensions between the bordering rivals.

And when Mkhi was playing for Dortmund in 2015, security concerns led to the German club decided to leave him out of their squad for a Europa League game against Azerbaijani club Gabala.

So Henrikh Mkhitaryan will not be allowed to play against another Azerbaijani club Qarabag when Arsenal face them in group stage.
