The Press Association has not yet classified the full teams but their reaction to them:

Arsenal offered a first start to teenager striker Eddie Nketiah while Unai Emery had made 10 changes for his Europa League clash against Vorskla Poltava in Kiev.

The Group E team was moved 185 km east of Poltava to the Olympic Stadium in the capital. Some parts of Ukraine are subject to martial law as political tensions continue to mount.

Only Rob Holding stayed after Sunday's Premier League win in Bournemouth, while 19-year-old Nketiah led the line with fellow Joe Willock academy. Ainsley Maitland-Niles was also registered for his first start since the opening day of the season, while Petr Cech returned in goal to the Gunners captain.

This tie-they-will-they-will-they-where-will-they-bound could prove more interesting while the current football is going on than it was when the world was waiting with the gasped very vaguely to see if it was going to happen. to arrive in the first place. Among all the reasons that the football world has ever seen to change the venue of a football game "the sudden introduction of martial law", which was forced by the hand of UEFA , must be among the most outstanding – other appointments in real life have been warmly welcomed – and Among the big issues of the night, there is precisely what percentage of the 70,050-seat Olimpiyskiy stadium in Kiev will be full, given the very short time frame, because Vorskla is 350 km away in Poltava, and normally plays in a stadium that can hold 24,795 people but for the average championship match attracts a paltry 3,395, which is about 100 more as the fifth-ranked British club, Hartlepool United.

Vorskla was visibly unhappy with the site change, pointing out on Twitter that although they normally play in green and white, their current mood was such that they would be best represented by an extremely strange fox:

We now have to wait to see if they are able, ahem, to overthrow a young and unknown part of Arsenal, who will not understand Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mesut Ozil and Lucas Torreira, all of whom have stayed at home, but perhaps Charlie Gilmour, Dejan Iliev, Jean-Jules Tyreece, Medley Zech, Emile Smith-Rowe, Joe Willock, Jordi Osei-Tutu, Bukayo Saka and Dominic Thompson.

Some of these names will be new to some readers, but do not worry. You may not know anything about Zech Medley, but here's a Beck, which is almost the same thing:
