(Reuters) - Arsenal's Europa League match against Vorskla Poltava on Thursday is in doubt, with the Ukrainian side saying they are still awaiting confirmation from the Olimpiyskiy Stadium in Kiev over whether it is willing to host the fixture.

UEFA decided on Tuesday to move the Group E clash from Poltava's Oleksiy Butovsky Stadium to the national sports complex (NSC) in Kiev due to security concerns following the introduction of martial law in Ukraine.
