Less Than 500 CSKA Moscow Fans To Watch Musa Against Arsenal
Published: April 05, 2018
Arsenal could host lesser than 500 CSKA Moscow fans at the Emirates stadium in their Europa League meeting this evening owing to the political tensions rising between Russia and the United Kingdom as even Russian supporters with the match tickets have decided against traveling.
Super Eagles striker Ahmed Musa is expected to be involved for the Muscovites tonight while international teammate Alex Iwobi trained with the Gunners on Wednesday.
CSKA Moscow manager Viktor Goncharenko is hoping his team will put aside the problems and live up to the billing of the tie.
"Let's leave politics for policy-makers. We are football coaches and players and we came here to play football,'' Goncharenko was quoted as saying by talkSPORT.
"We are thinking about football and we are certain the supporters here and in the return leg in Moscow are going to support their teams.
''You are welcome to Russia for the World Cup, you can see it is a very beautiful country.''
Musa was not in the Leicester City squad that lost 4-3 to Arsenal on the opening day of this season, he made his home debut for the Foxes off the bench as both teams settled for a goalless draw during the 2016-17 campaign.
